Moldavian red dry wine TeWa "Rare black"

A gem of the TeWa winery from the renowned Stefan Voda terroir, where grapes from tiny family vines along the Dniester River soak up the sun and minerality of the soil.

Alcohol: 13%

Grape variety: Rare black

Serving temperature: 14-16°C, let it breathe for 30 minutes in the glass

Producer: TeWa

Region: Stefan Voda

Aroma: An explosive and evolving bouquet: initially, fresh red berries—currant, cranberry, and sour cherry—with garnet undertones, transitioning to ripe blackberries and blueberries. Subtle spices and smoky nuances in Carpathian oak add depth, while cryomacination reveals floral accents of wildflowers—like a meadow in the Nistru Valley

Palate: Juicy body with dominant cherry and blackberry aromas, a creamy texture thanks to new oak aging, and balanced acidity (pH 3.54, 5.4 g/L). The finish is long and velvety, with nutty and spicy notes, yet generous, like Moldovan hospitality, ideal for those who appreciate authenticity without unnecessary heaviness

Food pairing: Ideal with meat – roast lamb with rosemary, pork shashlik, or Moldovan-style beef with mamaliga and fresh lard. Try it with tomato-based pizza, game pâtés, mushroom risottos, or fruit desserts like cherry pie; with truly Moldovan dishes – cheese placintés or grilled sardines
