Vinum Estate Fetească Neagră

Moldovan winemakers have nothing against wooden barrels. They think we like it: that scent of cedar wood and that flavour of gingerbread, oak and vanilla. At Vinum the winemaker has meanwhile learned that this is no longer 'trendy'. So he makes this one without oak ageing. 0% Wood and 100% Grape, says the label. And that Grape is the Fetească Neagră.

A 'fruit-driven' wine, just as the label predicts. Lots of slightly stewed fruit of elderberries, cherries and blackcurrants. Juicy, fresh and straightforward. No strange detours through forests of French oak.
