GITANA WINERY | Surori | 2017

The wine we are going to review today is quite special – Surori 2017 by Gitana Winery. This is a rosé blend made of saperavi and rara neagra grape varieties, which are two of the most seldom used varieties in a rosé wine. The wine is named after the two sisters, Liliana and Iuliana Dulgher, also pointing at the two varieties picked for the blend – one flamboyant and expressive and the other delicate and subtle. With grapes harvested by hand in the Valul lui Traian region, this wine is intended to capture the character of its area of origin. But enough theory, without further ado, let’s get straight to the tasting!

TIMBRUS | De Autor | Blend No.2 | 2015

The wine we are going to review tonight is a special one – De Autor Blend No.2 2015 by Timbrus. This is the winemaker’s flagship wine – a blend of saperavi, syrah and malbec, produced in the famous Purcari micro-region in the south-east of Moldova and signed by Manuel Vicente Ortiz Martinez – the renown spanish oenologist. This is the successor of the De Autor 2014 wine and, as is the norm for this class of wines, it has been aged for 16 months in french oak barrels, followed by a long maturation period in the bottle, but let’s not put too much emphasis on the theory. Without further ado, let’s get on to the tasting!

It was produced using traditional methods, thus, the wine was aged for 18 months in french oak barrels – this blend is nothing less than a bottled art and is part of the winemaker’s flagship line of premium wines that are famous all over the world, but let’s get rid of the theory part. Without further ado, let’s move on straight to the tasting!
