The Wine
In a world of French and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc it’s a real thrill to discover a new and delicious example from somewhere quite unexpected – Romania. La Fontana Vecchia is made by one of the country’s top talents, Lorena Deaconu, and her team of cellar assistants – their credentials include supplying wine to the Royal Court of Romania. King Michael would no doubt approve of this mouthwatering Sauvignon, the latest in a line of popular wines Lorena has made exclusively for us in the UK. It comes from the Colinele Dobrogei region between the River Danube and the Black Sea, where vines have been grown for centuries. With a mix of tropical fruit and citrus aromas, this wine makes a lovely apéritif, or a match for salads and seafood dishes.
In a world of French and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc it’s a real thrill to disco
Excellent example of a Sauvignon Blanc. Clean and crisp. Will definitely be buying more of this
