Străbun Tămâioasă Românească 2024
Străbun Tămâioasă Românească 2024 explores a dry expression of this aromatic variety, built on hand harvesting, extended maceration under bio-protection, and sequential inoculation with non-Saccharomyces yeasts. Cool-temperature fermentation, finished fully dry, preserves the floral register, fresh-grape notes, and citrus nuances, without any sense of weight. The palate is linear, with ample acidity and a clean, gently spiced finish. A modern dry wine with a clearly defined aromatic profile—crafted to shine at the table, not only in tasting.
Tămâioasă Românească grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, starting in the early morning hours, to protect berry integrity and the freshness of the aromatic profile. Each lot is monitored with precision to reach full technological and aromatic ripeness, with impeccable sanitary status—essential for a pristine, expressive dry wine.
After destemming, the must and skins are transferred to the vinifier for an extended, temperature-controlled maceration under inert-gas protection. At this stage, sequential inoculation with non-Saccharomyces species is employed, providing bio-protection throughout maceration and helping to reveal the variety’s aromatic potential without aggressive intervention. Gentle pressing follows, and the must is cold-settled by gravity until a clear fraction is obtained, which is then racked into stainless-steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation.
Fermentation takes place at low temperature with selected yeasts, preserving the floral register alongside notes of fresh grape and citrus. It is carried through to complete dryness, with close attention to alcohol–acidity balance, keeping the wine precise and gastronomic. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is kept for a moderate period on fine lees, with light bâtonnage—just enough to subtly refine texture without softening its freshness. Stabilization and filtration are minimally invasive, followed by bottling at the winery, ensuring Străbun Tămâioasă Românească retains a clear, modern aromatic profile in a dry interpretation, with no residual sugars.
