Crafted in southern Romania, the Dealu Mare Blend has been gaining attention as a high-quality red wine that delivers Bordeaux-level richness at a far more accessible price point. Beloved by wine lovers, this blend masterfully combines multiple grape varieties to achieve a complexity and balance that a single varietal simply cannot offer.
This red blend originates from the Dealu Mare subregion of southern Romania and must include at least 20% Fetească Neagră—a native black grape known for its deep fruit character and smooth texture. Combined with international varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, this blend offers a layered, expressive profile that highlights the best of each component grape.
The wine opens with rich black fruit aromas laced with spice, followed by layers of vanilla and dark chocolate from oak aging. With time, bottle aging reveals more complex notes—leather, tobacco, and dried fruits. Powerful tannins and well-integrated acidity support the generous fruit core, creating a full-bodied wine with elegance and a long, satisfying finish.
In recent years, Dealu Mare blends have seen a remarkable rise in quality, earning accolades at international competitions and scoring as high as 94 points from critics like James Suckling. Experts have praised them for their depth and refinement, comparing them favorably to Bordeaux and Super Tuscans. In blind tastings, top cuvées from Dealu Mare have even outperformed Bordeaux wines. This blend style has earned a strong following among sommeliers and adventurous wine lovers as one of the "must-try" red wines of the moment.

Meet Daniel
In today’s world, where climate change and excessive consumerism are widespread, many companies urge you to buy more. I don’t. I encourage you to buy less, but better.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping wine lovers in Japan achieve this. It's my mission and my belief.
[No to More. Yes to Better] captures the essence of Daniel’s Wine Club’s philosophy. I aim to connect with those who share these values and work together to build a better society.
The wines we introduce to the Japanese market are meant to offer you an experience and to enhance the moments you spend with those who matter most.
If you share these values, join me on this journey of discovery.
