Pinot Noir

Gorgeous flavours, almost syrupy in its concentration. Dark, rich and potent, with layers of complex black cherry, raspberry and cinnamon. Deep, with pretty fruit cake and spicy aromatics. Lingering aftertaste

Cramele [literally 'cellar'] Recas is a premium wine estate located on the far western fringes of the Romanian region of Transylvania/Banat - near Romania's third largest city, Timisoara. Founded in 1998, Cramele Recas has become a private Romanian/British company owned by winemaking team made up of three families, including husband-and-wife teams Philip and Elvira Cox and Hartley Smithers and Nora Iriate.

The vineyards, said to be some of the oldest in the world, were first planted in the area by the Romans with documents dating back to 1447 on the Recas vineyard land.

25% of the grapes were transferred directly into 1000 Kg bins, without being destemmed, then sealed and put through a carbonic maceration fermentation for 10 days. The remaining 75% was destemmed, lightly crushed and then macerated and fermented in stainless steel automated fermenters. Both wines were then separately pressed and the noncarbonic maceration wine was lightly oaked for 2 months with French oak staves. Finally, our winemakers created a perfect blend of the two types of wine.
