Taste & Aroma of Grasa de Cotnari 2008

First, the aroma opens with notes of honey, dried apricot, and ripe pear. Next, layers of candied citrus peel, acacia flower, and gentle spice emerge, adding depth. At the same time, fresh acidity lifts the profile and prevents heaviness.

On the palate, the wine feels smooth and luscious. As a result, flavours of stone fruit, honeycomb, and soft caramel develop gradually. Overall, the finish remains long, balanced, and elegant. Meanwhile, the natural acidity keeps the sweetness refined rather than cloying.

How to Enjoy This Romanian Sweet Wine

Serve this wine lightly chilled at around 10–12 °C to showcase its aromatics. Alternatively, allow it to warm slightly in the glass to reveal additional complexity. In addition, it pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Because of its structure and maturity, this wine suits slow sipping and special occasions. Therefore, it rewards thoughtful enjoyment rather than casual drinking. Please enjoy responsibly and refer to Drinkaware guidance here:
