In the sun-drenched Bugeac Steppe of southern Moldova, within the autonomous region of Gagauzia, Tomai crafts its Reserve Pinot Noir Rosé. This wine marries the elegance of the classic French noble grape with a warm, expressive terroir that has nurtured vines since ancient times. Pinot Noir has a storied history in Moldova, having been championed by French emigrés and imperial viticulturists in the 19th century who recognized the region's ideal latitudes. Grown on sun-exposed clay-loam slopes, the grapes benefit from hot southern days tempered by cool night breezes, preserving the delicate acidity crucial for a premium rosé. The Reserve designation denotes a careful selection of estate-grown fruit, gently pressed to achieve a delicate salmon-pink hue and fermented at cool temperatures to capture vibrant red fruit aromatics and a refined, textured finish.
