The Solevari Reserve, Syrah, DOC, Romania, 2020 is a light, soft and welcoming wine with a nose of autumn fruits. It has soft, smooth and spicy flavours throughout, with generous soft red fruit flavour and a lovely elegant finish. The Cramele Recas Estate, owned by Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, has put in a huge amount of work into transforming their slice of grape growing history into a contemporary winemaking haven. The immaculate vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447 and more recent plantings. With recent investments into modernising and improving their winery, they regularly host world-class winemakers to work with their team. This enables them to create top-quality wines and challenge themselves to innovate and approach winemaking with an open mind. The vines were replanted 12 years ago on a trellised system, using conventional new world viticulture and meticulous methods.
