Feteasca Alba

Feteasca Alba is a distinguished grape variety native to Romania, and is regarded as light-green pearls of the local viniculture. The name 'Feteasca' translates to 'maid' or 'young girl' in English, which resonates with the light, elegant, and vivid character of the wines produced from these grapes. It is predominantly found in the Moldovan region, widely acknowledged as the golden cradle of these vivacious grapes.

The Feteasca Alba grape variety is considered predominantly a dessert grape due to its natural sweetness, but it also matures into superb dry, semi-dry, and sweet wines, greasing the palates of wine connoisseurs with its tantalising floral and fruit notes. It asserts a bouquet of ripe pear, apple and subtle nuances of spices, making it a delightful companion to shellfish, farmhouse cheese or simply as an aperitif.

This illustrious Romanian grape comes into full maturity around mid-September, fostering a harmonious balance between acidity and sugar level. Feteasca Alba vines are robust and resistant to frost, exhibiting a wonderful resilience in the face of changeable weather conditions.

Despite its prominence in Romania, Feteasca Alba has also found a home in neighbouring countries such as Moldova, Hungary, and Slovakia. A sip of Feteasca Alba wine can transport one on a divine journey through its native land: entangled in its taste are countless generations of Romanian winemakers, the rich soils of its environment, and a dreamy dance of old-world winemaking traditions.

In conclusion, the Feteasca Alba grape is more than just a fruit; it is a symbol of Romanian cultural heritage, passionately nurtured through the times. Its wine, with its refreshing acidity, gentle fruitiness and enchanting bouquet, continue to charm and entertain wine enthusiasts around the world.
