Cotnari Tamaioasa is a celebrated expression of the ancient Tamaioasa Romaneasca grape variety, an indigenous Romanian grape with a unique aromatic profile. Hailing from the prestigious Cotnari vineyard, a region steeped in centuries of winemaking tradition, this wine showcases the grape's full potential for producing beautifully perfumed and naturally sweet wines.
On the nose, it is intensely captivating, presenting an exotic bouquet of rose petals, fresh basil, honey, and ripe grapes, often with hints of orange blossom. The palate is luscious and full-bodied, with a harmonious balance between its natural, elegant sweetness and a refreshing acidity that keeps it vibrant and prevents it from being cloying. Expect a long, lingering finish that leaves a memorable impression of its complex aromatics. Its 11.5% ABV makes it a comforting yet approachable sweet wine.
The standard 750ml bottle is perfect for enjoying as a luxurious aperitif, a sophisticated dessert wine, or for sharing at special occasions. Cotnari Tamaioasa pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, panettone, lighter creamy desserts, mild blue cheeses, or even certain Asian cuisines. Serve well chilled to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and rich texture.
