Chateau Cristi Cabernet Sauvignon Late Harvest

2021White wine · 500ml

A white wine made from well ripened red Cabernet Sauvignon, picked late and pressed while still frozen, which concentrates both sugar and aroma. The fruit is hand harvested on the estate at Găvănoasa, in the protected Valul lui Traian zone of southern Moldova, and the crop is limited to six tonnes a hectare. Intensely perfumed, sweet but not excessive, with fresh acidity holding the fruit in balance.
