2023 TAMAIOASA ROMANEASCA DULCE, Prince Stirbey: 10.5% Vol: White Dessert Wine .

This variety bears witness to Dragasani’s more than two-thousand-year heritage of wine cultivation. It’s a member of the near eastern muscat grape family, presumably brought to Dragasani by early Greek and Roman settlers. In the cool loam/clay-accentuated soil of the region, this aromatic variety develops a floral spice bouquet of particular intensity, while retaining a refreshing acidity.
As a late harvest semisweet wine, the intense bouquet is strengthened and enhanced still further by the grape’s residual sugar, blossoming with touches of ripened fruits on the palate. Vinified dry, this wine is well suited as an aperitif, with salads ore as an accompaniment to spicy Asian cuisine.
