The grape

Aligoté, a white grape variety from France, is relatively obscure in the global wine market, and its charms are not widely known. However, it produces excellent wines. Aligote is commonly cultivated in Romania, with 5,065 hectares as of 2023.

It is the most representative white grape variety of the Dobrogea region, with 854 hectares as of 2023. At Daniel’s Wine Club, we highly recommend any Aligote wine from this region. It is really worth a try.

The wine

This is a single vineyard wine made from grapes harvested from the finest vineyards in the Sarica-Niculitel region. It has reached the pinnacle of world-class wines and has a very high aging potential. A quintessential wine, representative for the Dobrogea region.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance
    A healthy, bright medium lemon color.
  • Nose
    The fresh and rich primary aromas are complemented by elegant secondary aromas, showcasing a wonderful complexity. Wildflowers, elderflower, acacia, chamomile, citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white peach, and pear are combined with a mineral sensation derived from limestone soils (wet stones, flint), buttery notes from malolactic fermentation, freshly baked bread from sur lie aging, and vanilla aromas from barrel aging, resulting in a wine filled with finesse and elegance.
  • Palate
    Upon tasting, it reveals juicy fruitiness and lively acidity, leaving a fresh impression. The mineral sensation derived from the soil is also pleasing. With added elements from barrel aging, it has become an extremely complex wine. It possesses a firm, distinctive, unwavering structure. The roundness from sur lie aging and the robustness from new oak barrels are particularly appealing.
  • Food pairing
    Mushroom risotto, seafood, smoked salmon, fried oysters, cheese, tenpura.
