Why You'll Love It
A proper skin-contact white with dried apricot, quince and fragrant spice, plus a satisfying little grip. There is plenty of character without sacrificing freshness, making this a great introduction to orange wine and an excellent partner for cheese or robust fish dishes.
About The Producer
Cramele Recaș has helped transform the reputation of Romanian wine. Developed by Philip and Elvira Cox with a highly skilled local team, the estate combines modern winemaking with an appetite for native grapes and adventurous styles. Its Solara range shows how expressive, characterful skin-contact wines can also be accessible and great fun to drink.
