In the following Romanian vintages, the wine enthusiast who enjoys clean, smooth finishing, red or white wines will note the absence of the characteristic heavy oak, which is often the hallmark of many trendy wines offered in
America.
This distinction reflects a long held conviction of Romanian winemakers to produce quality wines that exemplify the region in which the wine is produced, the unique characteristics of the grape varietal itself, and by no means, the oak cask in which the wine is stored. We, at Aroma Wine, believe you will applaud the winemaker’s credo as you experience the appreciable difference this approach to wine making creates. If it is your first adventure down these roads, welcome to a new way of thinking about wine.
