Introductory notes

At Daniel's Wine Club, we've rarely ventured into the world of extended skin-contact white wines, making them a rare find in our selection. But Fleur Royale from Histria Winery breaks that rule.

This wine is a true standout, offering exceptional complexity with notes of Damask rose, apricot, cardamom, and rich, ripe honey. It beautifully captures the unique terroir of the Dobrogea region, making it a flagship wine from this area.

Fleur Royale is fermented using only wild yeast. The yield is less than 3 tons per hectare. The grapes are hand-picked and meticulously sorted for optimal quality.

This attention to detail shines through, earning it rave reviews both domestically and internationally, including a Double Gold at the prestigious Gilbert & Gaillard International Competition.

If you're looking for a must-try white wine, this is it!

Message from Paul

My wines speak of the vine. Fermented solely with wild yeast, without oenological interventions, my aim is to showcase the full potential of the terroir. This is why the label proudly displays 'Terroir de Dobrogea.’

Tasting notes

Appearance

A radiant, deep gold color.

Nose

The aroma is very intense and rich. Notes of orange blossom, straw, hay, Damask rose, apricot, candied grapes, candied orange peel, quince, cardamom, barley tea, and mature honey are present, with hints of nuts and caramel. There is also a firm mineral presence, with flint and wet stone nuances.

Palate

The taste is vibrant, with a balanced acidity and vegetal notes, resulting in an elegant finish. It exhibits orange peel, apricot, and beeswax flavors, with a rich mineral character derived from the limestone soil. The acidity and fruitiness are harmoniously integrated, with a subtle sweetness adding to its pleasant drinkability. There are subtle nuances of yeast and wheat in the mouthfeel. While it is made with wild yeast, it offers a soft, smooth drinking experience without sharp edges. It maintains an elegant profile, with a subtle elegance that conceals the distinctive assertiveness often found in natural wines.

Food pairing

It pairs well with herb-infused chicken or fatty fish dishes, goulash (Hungarian cuisine), cheese and mushroom omelets, and tapas.
