Dealu Mare Merlot DOC 2023

Crafted in Romania's premier red wine territory—the famed Dealu Mare DOC along the southern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains—this Merlot showcases the exceptional ripening climate of the 45th parallel. Sun-drenched vineyards with rich clay-limestone soils allow Merlot grapes to achieve full phenolic maturity, building luscious fruit expression while retaining elegant structural balance. Aged in oak barrels to introduce velvety texture and delicate oak complexity, it stands as a classical, highly approachable Romanian red wine.

Food Pairing: Roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, pasta with rich meat ragù, shepherd's pie, and mild semi-hard cheeses.
