Cramele Recaș - La Stejari Chardonnay is a premium barrel-aged Chardonnay made from carefully selected vineyard parcels in the Banat region of Romania. The grapes come from sites with excellent exposure, allowing full ripeness and concentration.
Fermentation and maturation take place in oak barrels, which gives the wine a richer texture and adds layers of subtle toast and spice. The wine shows a deep golden color, indicating maturity and contact with oak.
On the nose, it delivers ripe aromas of apricot, peach, and citrus, complemented by notes of vanilla, toasted wood, and a gentle smoky nuance. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with a creamy mouthfeel balanced by a fresh acidity and a hint of minerality from the local soil.
The oak is well integrated - present, but not dominant - supporting the fruit rather than masking it. This Chardonnay is intended for those who appreciate complex and serious white wines with personality.
Best served at 10-12 °C, it pairs well with richer dishes such as white fish in butter or cream sauce, roasted poultry, or medium-aged cheeses. La Stejari is one of the standout Chardonnay labels from Cramele Recaș, confirming the winery’s ability to produce white wines of premium quality and depth.
