Lockdown WIne #5 - Prince Stirbey 2018, Romania. Grape: Tamaoioasa Romaneasca

Another wine from my Wine Century collection - a VERY obscure grape variety

Wine: Prince Stirbey 2018.

Country: Romania

Grape: Tamaoioasa Romaneasca (Muscat family).

From the Wine Society, £11.50

Value for Money – 6/10

Quality/Flavour – 8/10

A very pleasant white wine, but quite pricey for what it is. The grape variety is a relative of the Muscat, and you can taste that in the wine. It is something more than the everyday well made, clean fresh whites that we are all used to.

From the Wine Society listing: - The indigenous Romanian tamâioasa româneasca grape produces an enchanting dry white with delicate white fruit, citrus and white-flower aromas and rounded flavour.
