This wine is named after the protagonist of the Story of Harap Alb. And what a fitting name it is! White Moor, white made from black grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Neagră). Almost colourless, it offers charming (hehe, Făt-Frumos) notes of melon, pear candy, wet stones and green apples. Not overly complex, but delicate, well-balanced and mineral. It's fresh with gentle and well-integrated oak (2 months with bâtonnage).

Not sure if it makes sense to age it, but it's a wonderful choice for a hot summer evening or to pair with oysters.
