Hailing from the sun-drenched Bugeac Steppe in the autonomous region of Gagauzia, southern Moldova, the Loza Cabernet Dry by Tomai celebrates the deep-rooted viticultural traditions of this unique terroir. The name Loza, meaning grapevine, pays homage to the resilient vines that have dug deep into the fertile black soils of the region for generations. Benefiting from a warm, semi-arid climate tempered by gentle breezes from the nearby Black Sea, the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes develop rich, concentrated flavors while maintaining a balanced acidity. This dry red wine is crafted using modern temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve its vibrant fruit character, resulting in an approachable yet structured expression of the classic variety, steeped in the folklore of Moldovan winemaking resilience.
