RoVinHud Wine fair

Posted in January 2, 2015

The first public event we attended was in November 2014 in Timiș. This was a charitable event sponsored by Ceva de spus Association and hosted by Hotel Timișoara where Jancis Robinson, the famous wine writer was announced as a main guest.

We were very excited if a little nervous about this event, but our anxiety was quickly dispelled as we were well received by officials and attendees. We had the chance to introduce our wines to very well informed consumers, and  had the opportunity to meet fellow wine producers. We met some of the  best restaurateurs from Timișoara at the event and also had the great honor to meet Jancis Robinson. The world renowned wine critic had the chance to taste our wines twice: first Fetească Regală 2013, at the Master Class offered for the public, and the second day, during a tasting dedicated exclusively to the producers she had Fetească Neagră 2013. We were glad to hear her thoughts about our wine and naturally we are proud to share them with you. About Fetească Regală: „Smells cool, of green fruit, young. It has very good presence in the mouth, fresh, not opulent, not watery, it has a very good body, grapefruit finish. It is a very well made wine, quite delicate”. In the article published in January in the Financial Times she lists Fetească Regală among her favorites and says: Delicate aperitif from the northernmost, coolest wine region in the far north west

Jancis’ complete remarks about the rest of the wines can be read on her Purple Pages here. See also summarized remarks on the Romanian wine blog Provin.

Last, but not least we were very happy that our wines and our efforts were appreciated from the very first time we came out in public, but even more, we are honored to help support a charitable cause of the Ceva de Spus Association to buy an accessible minivan. Great thanks to the organizers!! We wish them best of luck and many successful editions!
