Cuvée Ruxandra 2023

Cuvée Ruxandra 2023 is Crama Darie's benchmark white, awarded Best of Show — the competition's highest distinction — and Double Gold at the Balkans International Wine Competition & Festival 2025, alongside Gold at Zosimo Wine Critic. It bears the signature of the cellar named "Best Producer · Still Wine · Romania" at the Asia Wine Trophy 2025. A selection Chardonnay, crafted lot by lot from hand-harvested grapes and vinified entirely in French and American oak barrels. Fermentation and ageing on fine lees, with regular bâtonnage, bring volume, depth and a silky texture without sacrificing precision. The profile weaves ripe yellow fruit and exotic hints with discreet butter, vanilla and lightly toasted bread; the long finish is carried by bright acidity and a saline touch — a collectible gastronomic white from the Dobrogea terroir at Horia.
