Cramele Recas<\/a> is a large winery in Romania well known for its astutely made commercial wines. Last year they began making an affordable orange wine, and this, the second vintage, is on the shelf at \u00a36 in Asda (a UK supermarket). It spends 20 days on skins, and has no added sulfites.<\/p>\n

I’m impressed by it, and it’s a remarkable deal at this price. Is it going to win over existing natural wine fans? Probably not: they won’t particularly like the fact that this is just one wine coming from a large, commercial cellar, rather than being the philosophy of the whole winery. But it might open up the eyes of regular consumers to these two categories of wines: orange and natural (the two often go together, but they aren’t the same, of course).<\/p>\n

Orange Natural Wine 2018 Timisului, Romania<\/strong>
\n12.5% alcohol. A blend of Chardonnay, Feteasca Alba, Sauvignon Blanc and Tamioasa Romaneasca from sustainably farmed vineyards. This is made with native yeasts and no added sugar or sulfur dioxide. A yellow gold in the glass, it has rich pear and peach aromas, with some citrus brightness. The palate is lively with zesty citrus fruit, some table grapes, a twist of apple, some creamy hints and some peachy richness. There is a bit of structure here, but the tannins add to the perception of brightness. It\u2019s a really lovely wine with lots of flavour but also freshness. 89\/100 (\u00a36 Asda)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
