Castel Huniade - Roze
Viticulture and Vinification
Crushed and destemmed red grapes are sent to red fermenter vessels. They are chilled on the way and left for 12 to 36 hours to allow a certain amount of the colour to leach from the grape skins. When the colour is perfect, the pink juice is drained and sent to settling tanks to clarify further. After that the winemaking is the same as for white wine. The ferment is cool around 11 to 15 ° C and the wine is protected form the air and oxidation. Fermentation takes 2 to 3 weeks and is stopped when the wine has around 10.75 g/l of sugar remaining. Much attention is given to ensuring the wine goes to bottles fresh and fruity with a bright colour.Tasting notes

Castel Huniade Feteasca Neagra
Viticulture and Vinification
Feteascã Neagrã grapes are fermented on skins for 5-7 days. They are pressed while still slightly sweet and the final amount of sugar which remains later ferments out off-skins. The timing of pressing is used to control the quality of the tannins extracted into the final wine. Too much time would leave a wine without fruit and dried out, too little, and some of the vital important flavour and color could be left behind in the skins.Tasting notes
Light lavender red, good limpidity. Dense aromas of slightly dried plums (glazed), sour cherries. Medium attack, a velvet wine with good acidity, reduced and pleasant tannins and slightly bitter finish that helps salivation and resuscitates the aromas on the tongue.We recommend this wine with:
Semi-hard cheeses, Romanian snacks (meatballs, sausages, stuffed aubergines), chicken ragout, Moldavian tochitura, roasted or grilled pork, plum dumplings.Serving temperature: 14°C - 16°C

Castel Huniade Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon
Viticulture and Vinification
Merlot grapes are fermented on skins for 6-8 days. During fermentation special timer-controlled pumps recirculate the wine from the bottom of the tank, up and over the top of the fermenting mass. This is to control the extraction of the flavours and colour from the skins which are floating on the top of the fermenting wine. As fermentation starts, recirculation, known as pump- over or remontage is done infrequently , but from day 2 to near the end, the frequency is increased to several times per hour. All red fermenters at Cramele Recas have a dedicated pump attached to the tank to allow this process to be controlled and the timing of the remontage adjusted to suit the wine and the stage of fermentation.Tasting notes
Purple red, with intense lavender reflections , good limpidity. Fresh aromas of red fruits (dwarf cherry, sour cherry, currant) and slightly vegetable aromas. Medium acidity and body , well integrated alcohol, a delicate and balanced wine. The taste gives aromas of raspberries , dwarf cherries and sour cherries, with a slightly bitter and nice aftertaste.We recommend this wine with:
Matured cheeses, meat salads, traditional Romanian snacks, grilled meat, pastrami, chocolate cake, “Foret Noir” cake.Serving temperature: 16°C - 18°C

Castel Huniade Sauvignon Blanc
Viticulture and Vinification
Good Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by zesty green flavors combined with tropical fruit notes. This is highlighted by the way the grapes are harvested for this wine. A part of the vineyard is harvested early for the crisp green style, a further part at mid maturity for a balanced component and then a final section is held until later to develop tropical/passion fruit characters to finish the blend. In the winery the processing is simple. Some parts are given some skin contact before pressing to extract more richness from the grape skins. All parts are fermented cool in stainless steel. Early bottling helps to seal in the freshness.Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish tints, good limpidity. Freshness with vegetable accents, black locust flowers, ripened fruits and melon, on a mineral background. Minerality confirmed by taste, sustained by good acidity, citric tint (lime), passion fruit. The well integrated alcohol sustains the structure of a wine marked by good taste dynamics and tonic notes.We recommend this wine with:
Green cheese, ewe-cheese, fish salads, caviar salad, Caprese salad, Bulgarian salad, chicken or turkey, pasta with pesto sauce, oven dishes (turkey, partridge), fish and desserts (tarts) with apricots, pears, apple pie.Serving temperature: 5°C - 8°C

Cuvee Uberland 2021
Viticulture and Vinification
Central to this wine is the “cane-cut” process. Better parcels of Cabernet and Merlot grapes are left to hang on the vine until fully ripe. Then to further concentrate the flavour, they are partially dried/stressed by cutting the cane on which the bunches are born to separate the grapes from the roots of the vine. Over a period ranging from a week to 20 days (depending on the weather) the grapes begin to soften and finally to appear a little saggy. This is due to evaporative water loss which concentrates the flavour and sugars. At the same time, by some unknown process, additional flavours are formed in the grape as a slight violet-like, floral aroma. These translate into the wine and can be tasted quite strongly in the wine when young and becoming more integrated with time in bottle.Tasting notes
Ruby red. Aromas of overly ripened fruits are revealed after aeration (sour cherries, cherries, currants and plums), on a background of raisins and Caribbean rum, vanilla san slightly caramel, with an ending of pepper. The acidity is high, fixes the aromas well and gives life to the wine with a good aging potential.We recommend this wine with:
Pfeffersteak, fillet mignon, large and medium game, boar cooked over the embers, veal, duck, pork dishes, lamb, Mangalitsa pork, beef tartare, mouldy cheeses, desserts with cherries, blackberries, currants, chocolate mousse.Serving temperature: 14°C - 16°C
