✨ wine.spec_sheet
Nestled in the sun-drenched Bugeac Steppe of Gagauzia, southern Moldova, the village of Tomai has been a cradle of viticulture since the early 20th century. The Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Semidry embodies this rich heritage, where intense southern warmth coaxes optimal ripeness from the vines. This semidry expression artfully tames the naturally robust, structured tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon by retaining a delicate touch of residual sweetness. Aged in oak casks, the wine marries classic blackcurrant and wild berry aromas with subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spice, offering a velvety, approachable take on Moldova's historic winemaking prowess.
