Pale straw in colour with bright aromas of grapefruit, ripe peach, green apple and a hint of melon. On the palate, this blend is light and lithe, packed with juicy orchard fruit and lifted by a citrusy acidity that keeps everything crisp and clean. There’s no oak to mask the fruit, just pure, fresh flavours and a gently mouthwatering finish.

Today, under the guidance of Philip Cox and Elvira Cox, the estate has become the most successful winery in Romania, recognised globally for its dynamic, quality-driven approach. Combining old vines with new plantings and state-of-the-art facilities, they produce a wide range of wines – from everyday favourites to natural and orange styles – always with a focus on value and consistency in the heart of the Viile Timisului region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it’s made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: 51% Pinot Grigio, 49% Feteasca Alba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvested early in the morning to preserve freshness and prevent unwanted colour extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly crushed and cooled to 8°C before gentle vacuum pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for around three weeks at 10°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept on fine lees until bottling for added texture and subtle complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viile Timisului, Romania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e White, still, light-bodied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eRomanian white wine\u003c\/strong\u003e blends the freshness of Pinot Grigio with the gentle aromatics of Feteasca Alba, creating a bright, versatile bottle that works just as well with food as it does on its own.
