Apogeum Cellar

Coming from a 50-year-old plantation, located on southern hills, with calcareous soil and benefiting from little rainfall, the Feteasca Neagra grapes give birth to this rare, unique wine - APOGEUM. The production is small, 5-6 tons/ha, harvested by hand. The grapes are selected from the vineyard, picked in the optimal period, transported with great care to the winemaking place. APOGEUM wine is made in the winery of the same name, a historic winery equipped with clay amphorae and grape selection systems to match its reputation, and it benefits from all the love and attention from the beginning. Slow, long-term fermentation at optimal temperatures - all for obtaining the characteristic aromas of dried plum, berries and black currants. After about 15-20 days, once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the amphorae are prepared for the second fermentation, the malolactic fermentation, a process after which the wine begins to fully reveal its special characteristics. Once this stage in the life of APOGEUM is completed, the young wine obtained is placed by gravity into new French oak barrels. The 24-month period during which the young Feteasca Neagra rests in barrels, plus the 12 months in which it stays in the bottle, gives it notes of elegant maturity, expressed through an explosion of inviting aromas (oak, vanilla, chocolate, coffee ) elements that denote the value of a special, rare wine.
