What is Gitana Winery?

Gitana Winery is a family estate in Moldova's southern Valul lui Traian region. Born in 1953 in the village of Plopi, the winery was taken over in 1999 by the Dulgher family, who renovated the cellars, planted their own vineyards in Romanovca and Filipeni, and set one clear goal: quality over quantity. Today Italian winemaker Nicola Tucci shapes elegant wines that speak of this warm corner of Moldova.

The Portret series

Portret means "portrait" in Romanian. This is Gitana's fresh, easygoing line, made to give you an honest first sketch of the winery's style without any fuss. Here Chardonnay (80%) is joined by Feteasca Regala (20%), a beloved native grape of Moldova and Romania. The grapes are pressed gently at low temperature and fermented slowly in stainless steel, so the clean, pure aromas of the fruit go straight into the bottle. Try it side by side with its sibling, the red Portret.

Why choose this wine?

If you want a white that opens easily on a weeknight and gets along with almost anything on the table, this is it. Chardonnay brings roundness, Feteasca Regala brings its floral charm, and together they make everyday meals feel a little more special. Chill it well and enjoy it from weekend lunches to sushi nights.

Tasting notes

Appearance

Bright pale lemon yellow with delicate green glints at the rim.

Nose

Bring your nose to the glass and lemon and grapefruit arrive first, followed by acacia blossom, white flowers and a sweet hint of pineapple. The floral lift of Feteasca Regala sits beautifully on Chardonnay's calm, ripe fruit.

Palate

Fresh acidity runs through first, then soft pear and green apple flavors spread gently across the palate. It feels remarkably light for its 14% alcohol, and a faint touch of flower honey lingers on the finish. A straightforward, charming dry white you won't tire of.

Food pairing

Lovely with white fish carpaccio, sushi, tempura and steamed chicken salads. It also works with grilled seafood finished with lemon, fresh cheeses and Vietnamese spring rolls. A true all-rounder with Japanese food.
