The Story
The Fusion of Precious Indigenous Varietals and Authentic Champagne Method
Meaning "White Maiden", Fetească Albă is a highly prized indigenous varietal in Moldova and Romania. It is beloved for its delicate floral notes, bright citrus energy, and pure, elegant character.
The winemaking employs the authentic traditional method (secondary fermentation in the bottle). Hand-picked grapes undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their fresh aromas. Afterward, secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, and the wine is aged on its lees for at least 12 months to develop fine bubbles and creamy complexity.
Food Pairing
A versatile sparkling wine that pairs exceptionally well with seafood and creamy dishes.
- ■ Fresh Oysters and Scallops: The wine's bright citrus notes and marine freshness perfectly enhance the sweet brininess of raw seafood.
- ■ Sushi and Sashimi: The clean, crisp profile and fine bubbles act as a perfect palate cleanser between delicate slices of raw fish.
- ■ Creamy Risotto or Brie Cheese: The rich, creamy texture of the dishes is beautifully balanced by the sparkling wine's vibrant acidity, naturally complementing the honeycomb and baked bread nuances.
Serving Temperature: 6℃〜8℃ (Enjoy at this temperature range to bring out its full richness)
Vineyard & Terroir
The Terroir of Ștefan Vodă, Purcari Microzone
Located between the Dniester River and the Black Sea, this region boasts a unique microclimate that tempers the summer heat. The soil, a mix of clayey black earth (chernozem) and sandy loam, provides excellent drainage, imparting a refreshing, vibrant minerality to the grapes, essential for crafting premium sparkling wines.
"Fetească Albă is truly an indigenous treasure, and adopting the traditional Champagne method is simply genius! It beautifully harmonizes the fresh orchard fruit aromas with the rich, creamy elegance that only bottle aging can achieve. I always keep a bottle of this chilled for celebrations. It completely redefines the concept of Eastern European sparkling wine."
