Calusari Merlot

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.
