AGING POTENTIAL

<p><strong>Capidava Alb 2025</strong> takes its name from the Danube fortress and the aromatic character of Dobrogea. It is a three-variety blend — <strong>Muscat Ottonel</strong>, <strong>Fetească Regală</strong> and <strong>Chardonnay</strong> — each playing its part: Muscat Ottonel sets the floral, aromatic frame, Fetească Regală brings nerve and freshness, and Chardonnay adds body and roundness.</p><p>The grapes come from the cellar's own vineyards at Horia and are hand-picked at dawn. Vinification preserves the pure aroma of the aromatic variety and guides the wine to an <strong>off-dry (demisec)</strong> style, balanced between fruit, acidity and a discreet sweetness.</p><p>Capidava Alb 2025 and Străbun Alb 2025 are two labels of the same cuvée — one composition, two expressions. An expressive, friendly white, easy to understand and to serve.</p>
