Calusari

Englishman, Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have dedicated their lives to transforming the long moribund, 700 hectare ancient estate, Cramele Recas, into a contemporary winemaking haven, to help drive Romanian winemaking forward. They have dug up and replanted all 700 hectares of decrepit vineyards and replaced them with immaculately tended sites, the equal of anywhere else in the world. The vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447, together with much more recent plantings too. 

A 20 million euro investment in the vineyards and brand new winery, as well as recruiting seasoned new world winemakers, has enabled them to produce top quality reds and whites, from a broad range of varietals, at very competitive prices. They regularly host world class flying winemakers, vintage to vintage, to work with their team. This enables them to create top quality wines and constantly challenge themselves. The Pinot Noir has a light, soft and welcoming nose of autumn fruits. Soft smooth & spicy flavours throughout with generous soft red fruit flavours and a lovely elegant finish.
