Situated in western Romania just to the east of the town of Timisoara, Cramele Recas is a very impressive new winery on an old site. In the last 10 years, both the vineyard and winery have been completely, and exhaustively, modernised in order to be able to fully control the production process using the latest methods. The winery has been fully fitted out with stainless steel, automatic temperature-controlled, tanks for fermenting and storing the wine. Having seduced us with international grape varieties they now turn to native Romanian varieties and this Feteasca (Maiden) Regala (Royal) makes a delightful and different aperitif with its bountiful flavours of citrus fruit and Conference pears.
