Cramele Recas Paparuda Reserve (Reserva) Red Blend Vegan Red Wine

From Cramele Recas, this Paparuda Reserve red blend comes from selected parcels in the Dealul Uberland Vineyard in Recas, Banat. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Feteasca Neagra, it is a dry red wine with 13.5% ABV and a full-bodied, generous style.

The grapes were de-stemmed and macerated for nine days in stainless steel auto fermenters at around 28C, with only the free run wine used. After clarification, the wine underwent 100% natural malolactic fermentation, while 50% was matured with medium-toast French oak staves for two months, adding a hint of vanilla and structure. Bottled with light filtration, minimal sulphites and no fining materials, it is suitable for vegans.
