A WINE CLUB WITH A BIG DIFFERENCE

Each month we put together a mixed case of six bottles totalling £70-£120 (saving up to 25% off the normal price), reflecting a particular theme or region in the wine world. Included with the wines will be tasting notes, maps and information about the producers. The big difference about our wine club is that you get to decide 'Yay or Nay' for receive that month's box - so you get to buy only what you like the sound of and what you think you'll enjoy drinking.

ROMANIA

This month we are turning our attention to a country we believe has been overlooked and has some very interesting potential – Romania. It’s a fascinating country, with some very interesting indigenous varietals, differing terroirs, climatic factors and most importantly, they provide excellent value. Romania is the 5th largest vineyard grower in Europe, yet only 6-8% of their wines are exported, so there is much for us to discover.

Romania has produced wines since the times of the ancient Greeks. Throughout it’s history, Romania has found itself at a cultural crossroads, having been has been occupied by Huns, Magyars, Mongols, Khanates, Ottomons, Austro-Hungarians and Soviets. Throughout this time it’s wine history, like much of Western Europe, has been down to the constant role played by monasteries. These centres of religion continued to nurture viticulture throughout the middle-ages and were joined by historic large estates linked to the Habsburgs legacy, in the Western side of Romania until the mid 19c.

With the affects of Phylloxera in the late 1890’s decimating the existing vineyards, French viticulturists helped to re-establish vineyards using resistant American rootstocks. This gallic influence revived and modernised vineyard management until the communist period of 1944-1989. Unfortunately, Soviet farming methods were focused upon mass production, rather than quality.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, Romania has continued with vineyard and wine production, focussing on increasing the quality. With the aid of foreign investment and EU funding, Romania is now positioning itself to start exporting both very good value modern international varietal wines and even more excitingly for us, terroir specific wines that highlight their two star indigenous varietals – Feteasca Negre (Red) and Feteasca Regala (White).

The joy of wine is discovering something new and I very much hope that you join us as we explore the wines of three very exciting producers from Romania.
