Castel Huniade – Cabernet Sauvignon
Viticulture and Vinification
Cabernet grapes are fully destemmed and crushed before going to 50.000 litres stainless steel fermenters. All are seeded with known and trusted yeast cultures to produce a reliable fermentation. Temperatures up to 28°C are employed when on skins to achieve full extraction of colour and flavor from the skins. Temperature is controlled through out these 5 - 6 days of on-skins fermentation before pressing. The heavy pressings fractions are not used in Castel Huniade wines.Tasting notes

Smoked hard cheese, moldy cheese, cow goulash, Moldavian tochitura,medium and large game, veal, duck. Desserts with chocolate cream and red fruits.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

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
