The grapes for this wine come from the oldest and best parcels of the Dealul Tiganului (Gipsy Hill) cru in the Banat region. The Negru de Drăgășani, a rare and indigenous varietal, forms the heart of this blend. After careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and fermented for nine days in stainless steel tanks at around 28°C. Only the free-flowing wine is used for this cuvée. A portion of the wine (50%) is aged for two months in French oak staves with medium toast, adding subtle vanilla notes and structure. The wine is naturally cold-stabilized at -5°C for two weeks and bottled with a light filter, without fining agents, making it completely vegan-friendly.
The Călușari Reserva is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, such as sticky BBQ ribs, spicy stews, or a rich chili con carne. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and spicy sausages. Serve at a temperature of 14-16°C for optimal enjoyment.
