Vinification Pinot Noir is well suited to the soils and climate of the Dealu Mare region and it is usually one of the first grapes to be picked however in 2013 the grapes took longer to ripen. All the grapes were picked by hand and placed into 3 tones stainless steel trailers. The grapes were then de-stemmed but not crushed in order to achieve the fruity characteristics of this grape variety. We gave the grapes 3 days cold soak at 10°C after which the wine went through a regular fermentation from 8 to 10 days at a temperature between 25 to 28°C. Only 2% of the wine was matured in oak barrels for six months before it was blended together to make this wine. This was to give the wine a little more structure.
Tasting notes Ruby in colour with complex aromas of raspberry and cherry, with a hint of spice and black cherry. Medium to light bodied wine with lovely soft tannins, giving this wine it’s lovely long finish.

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
