0 out of 5

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

  • Type: Dry
  • Alcohol: 14%
  • Color: White
  • Oak aging: No

ORIGIN:

Zghihara is an authentic Romanian variety whose history begins many centuries before the phylloxera invasion. Its very name shows its belonging to the area of Moldavia, more precisely Huși because when we refer to this variety we can only say that it is zghihăț (zglobiu), it wins you over by its simplicity, but also by the refinement gained thanks to the care with which, at our Averești Estate, this variety is vinified. Zghiharei grapes are very resistant to frost, drought, manna, they ripen later, at the end of September, beginning of October, without a very high concentration of sugar, consequently the resulting wine rarely exceeds 12.5% alcohol by volume."
MAKING PROGRESS:
Grapes were harvested in the morning until 10 o'clock, by hand with great care, at a sugar content of 195g/l., then destemmed without crushing. The grapes were cooled to a temperature of 10°C and then macerated in the press for 6 hours. The grapes were harvested by hand. The grapes were macerated at low temperatures, and the pressing was done cold. Fermentation of the must took place in stainless steel vessels at controlled temperatures.
TASTING:
Zghihară wine is a zghihăt (Playful) wine, where the high acidity blends very well with the full and refreshing taste in which we find fruity notes of green apple, gooseberries, but also vegetal traces of green bell pepper and fennel. The aftertaste is short to medium, mineral, with a citric and slightly bitter finish with traces of apricot kernels. Serve well chilled (8-10°C), it can be enjoyed at any time of the day, both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to fish dishes, seafood, white meat, as well as dishes with soft-ripened cheeses.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

  • Type: Dry
  • Alcohol: 13,5%
  • Color: White
  • Oak aging: No

ORIGIN:

The philosophy of Zghihara wine is a special variety, a wild noble whose strong personality and stingy nature, settled in the land of Huși thousands of years ago, has perfected a wine that stands out from the classical patterns. MAKING PROGRESS: Grapes were harvested by hand with great care, at a sugar content of minimum 195g/l., then destemmed without crushing. The grapes were cooled to a temperature of 10°C and then macerated in the press for 6-8 hours. The must is obtained in a controlled atmosphere using a short, low-pressure pressing cycle. Decanting of the must was done gravitationally, cold. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, and the young wine obtained was kept on fine lees storage until March to gain structure and volume. TASTING: Pleasant but discreet aromas of green apples, lime, and gooseberries. Lively, fresh, and fruity, with light hints of marjoram and a mineral aftertaste, this is your everyday wine. Serve well chilled (8-10⁰C), good paired with white meat poultry, preferably partridge or fish, seafood.

Vinification The vineyards where this Sauvignon Blanc comes from is situated on the very top of the hills at 400 m above sea level on a north facing vineyard. Here it is slightly cooler than any other part of our vineyards and with soils of sand and limestone which gives this wine some mineralogy. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are handled very carefully during picking and sorting. Every care is taken to limit the exposure to oxygen during the pressing of the grapes. Only the free run is used to make this wine. Grape must is cooled and allowed to settle for 24 to 48 hours before racking off the sediments. After racking off the sediments, we inoculate with a yeast that will ferment at cold temperatures and will give us good herbaceous characteristics.
