Wine #2 Vinul Moldovei Vol. 1.
This wine is named after the protagonist of the Story of Harap Alb. And what a fitting name it is! White Moor, white made from black grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Neagră). Almost colourless, it offers charming (hehe, Făt-Frumos) notes of melon, pear candy, wet stones and green apples. Not overly complex, but delicate, well-balanced and mineral. It's fresh with gentle and well-integrated oak (2 months with bâtonnage).
Not sure if it makes sense to age it, but it's a wonderful choice for a hot summer evening or to pair with oysters.

I struggled with this one blind, bright and lemony but round and a little nutty in the middle, an excellent Aligote but I’m more used to the more natty De Moor style. — 6 days ago

lacks the precision and riesling-like tension i've come to associate w de moor but who cares—this shit was so much fun. blend of SB, chard and skin contact aligoté. i imagine everything that was left over after harvest? super expressive, ripe, and nutty with plenty of acid to keep everything in check. what's not to love? — 5 months ago
