Kaspers Elderflower Slow Gin
- Gin is typically made from a grain-based spirit to which botanicals are added. By contrast, our innovative approach starts with the hand-picked elderflower which is fermented and double distilled. Ten botanicals are then added, seven of which are commonly used in gin and three are from the local biodiversity rich wildflower meadows of Transylvania.
- We then distil a third time to produce our unique drink that retains the refreshing floral notes of elderflower but now combined with the distinctive taste of gin from the juniper berries. Our small batch distilling uses the traditional equipment and skills passed down through generations, but we have added some modern science to guarantee quality and consistency.
- We established our social enterprise in Saschiz, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 with the objectives of buying our raw materials (flowers, fruit and vegetables) from the community and we employ local people to produce our jams, chutney and cordials. This is to ensure a sustainable approach that puts people and the environment at the heart of what we do. Our production is based on traditional skills and the innovative use of local ingredients.

La Putere - Feteascã Neagrã
Viticulture and Vinification
Feteascã Neagrã grapes for this wine come from special green harvested- yield-reduced vines. Early in the season, workers go through the vineyards and individually cut a percentage of the grapes from the vine and throw them on the vineyard floor. This process is more painful for the viticulturist than the grape vine, which benefits by being able to put more of its resources into the remaining grapes, to give riper and develop more flavour. In the winery the grapes are treated to the same fermentation on-skins process, with controlled temperatures around 28°C and regulated pump overs while on skins to ensure good mixing/fruit extraction.Tasting notes
Violet red (typical for this variety), good limpidity. Strong aromas of fruits (sour cherries, currants, plums), flowers and slightly vegetal aromas. It initially resembles wet tree roots after rain and the young plants in the forest, followed by notes of fruits and flowers, with vague tints of vanilla. Attack above average, very good acidity, a lively taste, with active, persistent tannins and integrated alcohol. Good body and taste dynamics, slightly vegetal ending interesting aftertaste for a young wine.We recommend this wine with:
Traditional Romanian dishes, aubergine salad, small and medium game cooked in the oven, pasta with prosciutto, pizza, pork, beef and duck dishes, desserts with cherries, blackberries, currants.Serving temperature: 16°C - 18°C

Legend of Dracula Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
- Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Appelation: Dealurile Munteniei GI
- Vintage: 2015
- Oak aging: yes
- Alcohol content (vol%): 13,0
ORIGIN: The wine is prepared entirely from grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon variety coming from the Dealu Mare which is the homeland of red wines in Romania, the seventh largest country producer of grapes in the world.
WINE MAKING PROCESS:
The grapes are sorted and de-stemmed and sent to the fermenter. The fermentation lasted several days. Vinification calls for the repeated punching down of the cap to maximize the extraction of the polyphonic compounds and colour components which will give the finished wine its distinctive style. When fermentation is over, the new wine is left in contact with the skins for a few more days to allow the alcohol to extract their finer tannins. The new wine is carefully drawn off into stainless steel vats for malolactic fermentation.
TASTING: Ruby red, with dominant aromas of red fruits. Taste of ripe black fruit, with delicate notes of vanilla, chocolate, pepper and cinnamon even in post taste. The fine structure and mild tannins make the wine easy to drink. It is recommended to be served at 15-18°C. It will be well suited with barbecue, pasta or cheese.
