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
Rose pink colour, medium intensity, with good limpidity. Opens gently with aromas of red fruits (sweet cherries, pomegranates), rose petals, with vegetal aspects. A refreshing and lively wine, with a good acidity sustaining a structure based on freshness and elegance, with an ending reminding of cranberriesWe recommend this wine with:
Sushi, Asian dishes, fish salads, roast beef, veal, turkey, duck, desserts with berries.Serving temperature: 7°C - 10°C

Selene Barrique Feteascã Neagrã

Taking grapes from a few know spots in the vineyard, which each year give the best results, allows the making of a Feteascã Neagrã which epitomizes the variety’s attributes. This wine is only made in the better years, when nature combines with good viticulture to best demonstrate the wines. Controlled time in the fermenting what means that the naturally soft structure of Feteascã Neagrã is preserved, allowing the spicy fruit to be best displayed. Micro-oxygenation is also central to managing the mouth feel and texture of the wine. Average brix: 25.2 Grapes destemmed and lightly crushed, pressed at 9 days, Natural Malolactic.

Selene Cabernet Sauvignon
Viticulture and Vinification
Mature grapes from the best parts of the vineyard are used for this wine, Selene is only made in exceptional years. It reflects what is possible in red wines from Recas and the emphasis is on smoothness and harmony. This is created from the start by using extra ripe grapes which have softer, “sweeter” tannins from the vineyard. These are then further refined by careful application of oxygen during the fermentation and early stages of maturation. The controlled oxygen exposure causes polymerization of the tannins and red colouring to give a smoother mouth feel and better harmony.Tasting notes
Its colour is cherry red, purplish reflections and very good limpidity. Aromas of red and black fruits (blackberry, black currant, sour cherry), slightly grassy after aeration (fern). The good interaction with oak wood is felt, the wine opens nicely, with complex perfumes of vanilla and cinnamon. Interesting ending with tints of leather and hot spice (green pepper). Very good acidity, quick attack, dynamic tannins, equally velvety and round, with hot ending and lasting aftertaste. Vegetal aromas and especially intense aromas of fruits, weaved with brown sugar.We recommend this wine with:
Beef tartare, veal, duck, Pfeffersteak, boar meat cooked over the embers, mouldy cheese, chocolate mousse.Serving temperature: 16°C - 18°C

Selene Chardonnay
Viticulture and Vinification
Sole Chardonnay comes from selected parcels of our best grapes. As befits a premium product, extra attention is applied to all facets of the production. Fermentation is partially in new French oak barrels. These are carefully hand stirred after fermentation to maintain the yeast in suspension and allow extraction of additional palate weight. This process is know as battonage and is employed three times per week until the desired flavour profile has been achieved. Oak selection is important in this wine and a combination of different toasting intensities are used on the oak to incorporate another level of flavour complexity.Tasting notes
Golden yellow, vague greenish reflections, good limpidity. Aromas of vanilla, flowers, ripped white fruits (white peaches, pineapple). A corpulent wine, with intense aromas, good acidity, emphasized acidity, with a background of honey with slight citric aspects, exceptional aftertaste.We recommend this wine with:
Hard and semi-hard cheeses, cheeses with external mold (Brie, Camembert), Caesar salad, oven dishes with sauces and reductions, chicken and turkey dishes, benthonic fish (turbot), large crustaceans (lobster, langoustine, river lobster), tuna steak, fish stew, desserts with vanilla, peaches, mango, pineapple.Serving temperature: 8°C - 10°C

Selene Merlot
Viticulture and Vinification
Carefully selected handpicked grapes from the oldest and best parcels of Merlot which feature iron oxide rich soils on limestone bedrock were then carefully processed using state of the art equipment to gently destem and crush the grapes. A short cold maceration of two days at 5° C in order to release colour and flavour without harsh tannins was followed by a medium length alcoholic fermentation at 28° C and the grapes were pressed slightly before the end of fermentation. The wine was then clarified using decantation and put through a 100 % malolactic fermentation, before spending 4 months maturing in new French oak barriques of 225 ltr from the Allier and Jupille forests of central France. The wine was then bottled with almost no added SO2 (in fact it is below the limit considered maximum for ‘Natural wines’), and with no filtration to preserve the maximum of flavour and concentration. Harvest dates: 23.09 – 10.10.2017 Average brix 24.5 Grapes destemmed and lightly crushed, pressing at 11 days, natural malolactic. Matured in new French oak barriques from Alliers, 12 months. Unfiltered Age of vines: 18-35 years Training head trained, cane pruned on vertical trellis, vertical shoot positioned. Yield: 6500 kg/ha Soil Fractured limestone with iron oxide richg loams,sandy loams on chalk.Tasting notes
Intense purple red with violet tinges. The nose is dominated by rich dark fruit flavours of plum, blackberry and blueberry with a light hint of vanilla toast from the short stay in barriques. The pallet is rich and complex, still very young but with great potential to age, this wine is packed with powerful notes of forest fruits, raspberry , blackberry and prunes with good concentration, smooth tannins and a long finishWe recommend this wine with:
Rich meat dishes such as Osso Bucco or Beef Wellington, but also a great companion for a selection of cheeses like Manchego, Gruyere or Mature Cheddar, or indeed the Horezu fermented goat cheese of Romania.Serving temperature: 15°C - 16°C
