A floral masterpiece from the heart of the Danube Delta – discover the pure expression of Romania's indigenous white grape.
Tasting Notes
■ Appearance: Pale straw, with vibrant green reflections.
■ Nose: A blooming orchard in your glass. Explodes with aromas of acacia honey, ripe apricots, and white peaches, underpinned by fresh grapefruit and a delicate nutty nuance.
■ Palate: Crisp, lively, and wonderfully refreshing. Vibrant acidity dances on the palate with flavors of yellow plums and citrus, leading to a beautifully clean, mineral-driven finish.
Fetească Regală ("The Royal Maiden") is one of Romania's most cherished indigenous white grapes. Born from a natural crossing of Fetească Albă and Grasă de Cotnari, it is beloved for its beautiful floral aromatics, fresh acidity, and approachable versatility that pairs well with any meal.
The Story
Sustainable Farming & Community Contribution
Crafted by "Crama Delta Dunării (La Sapata)", a pioneering organic winery nestled on the terraced slopes of Tulcea, Romania. Overlooking the breathtaking Danube Delta Nature Reserve, this Italian-Romanian joint venture is dedicated to sustainable farming, social responsibility, and the revival of authentic local grape varieties. Not only do they produce organic wines, but they also create employment to prevent the depopulation of rural Romanian areas, ensuring every bottle supports the local community.
The grapes are cultivated entirely organically, and the must obtained from a gentle pressing of whole bunches is fermented at a cool 18°C to preserve its delicate aromas. Matured exclusively in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak influence, it maintains its crisp, fruit-forward purity.
Food Pairing
Perfect pairings for this wine include:
- ■ Herb-Roasted Chicken: The wine's vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, while its floral notes complement green herbs.
- ■ Sushi & Sashimi: Its clean, mineral finish and zesty citrus act as a perfect palate cleanser for delicate raw fish.
- ■ Mild Asian Curry: The ripe stone fruit aromatics and subtle spice of Fetească Regală beautifully balance the gentle heat and aromatics of a coconut-based curry.
Serving Temperature: 10℃〜12℃ (Enjoy its true richness within this temperature range)
Vineyard & Terroir
Origin: Somova, Tulcea (Danube Delta)
The vineyards are situated on terraced slopes of sandy-loam soil, overlooking the landscape just before the pristine waterways of the Danube Delta merge with the Black Sea. The extreme climate—harsh, cold winters and hot, dry summers—pushes the vines to their limit, reducing yields to produce highly concentrated, mineral-driven fruit.
"If you think you know white wines, this Fetească Regală will completely surprise you. It has the aromatic allure of a ripe central Italian white, yet with an incredible freshness and wild energy that is uniquely Romanian. This is a flamboyant yet unpretentious wine that just makes you want another glass. — Dejan, Owner & Importer"
