✨ wine.spec_sheet
The 1903 series from Tomai celebrates the deep-rooted viticultural history of the Tomai village in Gagauzia, Moldova, where organized winemaking began in 1903. The southern Moldovan terroir of the Bugeac Steppe provides an ideal microclimate for red grapes, characterized by hot, dry summers and fertile soils. This red expression captures the classic southern Moldovan style, balancing rich, sun-drenched dark fruit flavors with soft, approachable tannins and a touch of oak influence from traditional aging. It reflects a legacy of resilience and passion, bridging ancestral traditions with contemporary craftsmanship.
