The '1903' series by Tomai-Vineex pays tribute to the historic year when viticulture was officially established in the sun-drenched village of Tomai, located in the Gagauzia region of southern Moldova. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a liquid testament to over a century of winemaking heritage on the fertile Bugeac Steppe. Grown in a microclimate characterized by hot summers and gentle breezes from the Black Sea, the grapes develop rich, concentrated flavors. The winery combines traditional oak aging with modern techniques to craft a Cabernet that balances robust structure with smooth, fruit-forward elegance, capturing the resilient spirit and warm hospitality of Moldovan terroir.
