Back in 1988, three families decided to invest in a winery in Romania, starting with 650 hectares of slightly unloved vineyards and a rusty, once state-owned winery.
Yet Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have turned the Cramele Recas Estate into the most successful winery in Romania. Recas are now recognised globally for their impressive scale and breadth of fascinating wines, including natural and orange wine from organic grapes. Despite the scale the emphasis is on making good wines that over-deliver, and as a result they’ve struck on a magic formula that has seen sales and demand boom.
Solara Rose wine has lively raspberry and floral aromas, with crisp strawberry, gala apple and spice flavours that rally toward the zesty finish. Pairs great with sushi, Thai red curry tiger prawns, or with summer barbequed swordfish.
