Cramele Recas Solara is the perfect introduction to orange wine — all the crisp, refreshing qualities of a white with a hint of the structure and complexity of a red. Made from Romanian white grapes with the skins and seeds left in contact with the pressed juice, giving the wine its characteristic mellow orange hue and structured tannins. Delicate floral aromas of peach and pear, a long finish, and minimal intervention throughout. Serve cool, not super cold.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Mellow orange — the distinctive, characterful colour of a skin-contact wine made from Romanian white grapes with minimal intervention. Immediately intriguing and unlike anything in a conventional white wine glass.
Aroma
Delicate and floral — peach and pear with the subtle complexity that skin and seed contact adds to a naturally made orange wine. Fresh, inviting, and approachable.
Palate
Crisp and refreshing with a hint of red wine structure — the skin contact delivering structured tannins and complexity alongside the fresh, fruity character of the white grape base. A long, satisfying finish.
Pairs With
Charcuterie, aged cheeses, grilled chicken, Middle Eastern cuisine, and dishes with a little spice or richness. Orange wine’s natural structure makes it one of the most food-versatile styles in the glass.
Finish
Long and structured — peach, pear, and the gentle tannin grip of skin contact fading with the fresh, natural character that minimal intervention preserves.
