Hailing from the sun-drenched Bugeac Steppe in the autonomous region of Gagauzia, southern Moldova, the Tomai 1903 Cabernet White Label pays homage to the historic year of 1903, when the foundations of modern viticulture were first laid in the village of Tomai. This red wine captures the intense continental climate of the region, where hot summers and well-drained clay soils allow the Cabernet Sauvignon grape to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. Crafted using a blend of traditional winemaking heritage and modern technology, the wine is typically aged in oak casks to soften its robust structure. It exhibits a classic deep ruby hue, offering a rich bouquet of blackcurrants, wild berries, and subtle hints of sweet spice and vanilla derived from oak contact. The palate is characterized by well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, reflecting the unique terroir of southern Moldova.
