When you think of fine wines, Romania might not be the first country that comes to mind. But the Calusari Merlot, hailing from the Banat region, is here to change that perception. Produced by the renowned Cramele Recas winery, this wine is known for its fruity character with a hint of spice. The rise of Romanian wines, particularly due to their excellent value, has taken the wine world by surprise. And the Calusari Merlot is a shining example.

Cramele Recas: Pioneers in Romanian Wine

While Romania may be new to many as a wine country, it boasts a rich wine history. However, due to its focus on local consumption, exports remained limited, resulting in a lack of international recognition. However, Cramele Recas, led by British visionary Philip Cox, has put Romania's potential on the international wine map. After acquiring centuries-old vineyards in northwest Romania, Cox's Cramele Recas winery has won numerous international awards, with Calusari Merlot as one of its star products. Cramele Recas is known not only for its excellent Calusari Merlot but also for its modern winemaking techniques that emphasize the grapes' fruity character. With a blend of premium French and Italian vines, and a recent replanting in the 21st century, there is no compromise on quality. Hand-harvesting and strict selection processes ensure that only the finest juice bears the Cramele Recas label.

Tasting notes of the Calusari Merlot

The Calusari Merlot, made from 100% Merlot grapes, is a treat for the senses. Upon pouring, your senses are immediately captivated by the fruity notes of cherry. Its soft, spicy flavor, enriched with hints of red fruit, makes this wine exceptionally versatile.
