✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The '1903' series from Tomai-Vineex pays tribute to the historic year when viticulture was formally established in the village of Tomai, located in the Gagauzia region of southern Moldova. Cultivated in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of the Bugeac Steppe, this Merlot benefits from a unique microclimate where clay-rich soils and gentle southern breezes allow the grapes to develop rich, concentrated flavors. The wine is crafted to showcase a harmonious balance of traditional Moldovan winemaking heritage and modern cellar techniques, resulting in a smooth, medium-bodied red characterized by ripe dark fruit notes and soft tannins.
