ORIGIN:
The Negru de Dragasani grape variety was obtained at the Dragasani viticulture research station through individual selection. It is a hybrid, officially recognized in 1993, between the Negru Vartos and Saperavi varieties (a native grapevine from Georgia, commonly used in blends to produce high-quality red wines). The grape has a black-blueish color, with red-colored, juicy, non-aromatic pulp and a straightforward taste. Wines produced from this variety are dry, more robust, strikingly red, with flavors and aromas of black cherries, sour cherries, blueberries, blackberries, and spices. They are suitable for aging in oak barrels and subsequently in bottles. TASTING: With its mesmerizing ruby red color, this wine reveals dominant aromas of red fruits in its bouquet. The taste is a delightful harmony, featuring well-balanced notes of ripe tannins, along with delicate hints of vanilla, chocolate, and pepper. Best enjoyed at 14-16°C, it promises a sophisticated and captivating wine experience, embodying a symphony of flavors for the discerning palate.Grande Cuvée de Purcari Extra Brut Sparkling Wine (in present box)

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.
Kreskova Vodka 500ml

- Double Gold Michelangelo Int. Wines & Spirits Awards, RSA, 2018
- Bottling, labelling and packaging are performed using state of the art technology, ensuring efficiency and quality in each process while showing how modern techniques can preserve the high quality standards of our brands.
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.

Muse Day
Viticulture and Vinification
The grapes are picked at dawn in order to get a maximum freshness of the wine. The red grapes used for this wine are left in their skins for a short period, in order to extract just a hint of colour, before the light pink juice is collected for fermentation. Fermentation takes place at cool temperatures, in order to retain the fresh aromas during the entire process. The vinification is as minimal as possible and aims to transform the grapes into wine in the purest way. In order to achieve this, we do not use oak wood or secondary fermentations, the wine remaining in neutral stainless steel tanks and from there it goes directly into bottles, without aging it too much in the winery, so that the character and freshness of the grapes reaches the glass..Tasting notes
