Cramele Recas, the producer of the Calusari range, including Calusari Sauvignon Blanc, has its roots deep in western Romania. Founded in 1991, this estate has transformed itself into a modern wine paradise. With 600 hectares of vineyards, replanted with top-quality vines in the early 21st century, the winery is a model of innovation and quality. The modern vinification facilities and the expertise of the winemaking team, led by Australian Hartley Smithers and Spanish Nora Iriate, ensure that Calusari Sauvignon Blanc and other Cramele Recas wines have achieved worldwide recognition.
While Romania might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of wine, it has a rich winemaking tradition. 18th-century German immigrants brought new technologies and an unparalleled work ethic to the region, laying the foundation for the success of wineries like Cramele Recas.
Pouring Calusari Sauvignon Blanc greets you with a bright straw-yellow color. The aroma is an enchanting blend of dried heather, white flowers, and the wine's unmistakable fruity character.
