Viticulture and winemaking
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Oprisor is the product of careful winemaking, which begins with choosing the right terroir. In Romania, where the climate is characterized by hot summers and cold winters, the Cabernet Sauvignon vines find ideal conditions to develop to their full potential. The vines are deeply rooted in mineral-rich soils, which lend them complexity and a multi-layered minerality.
The grapes are carefully monitored and harvested at the optimum ripening time to ensure that they have just the right balance between acidity and sweetness. Harvesting is often done manually to preserve the integrity of the fruit and ensure careful selection. After the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the high-quality juices.
Fermentation takes place under controlled conditions to maximize the aromatic profile and develop the deep, rich aromas that are characteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon. After fermentation, the wine is matured in barrels – a combination of new and used wood can be used to achieve the right balance of oak nuances and fruit without overpowering the character of the wine.
The ageing process in barrels helps the wine to soften its structure and tannins, while at the same time absorbing subtle notes of vanilla and spices from the wood. After the maturation period, the wine is bottled and stored there until it has reached perfect harmony and is released for sale.
This careful and thoughtful winemaking process is reflected in the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 – a wine that honors not only the terroir of Oprisor, but also the craftsmanship and tradition of Romanian viticulture.
