WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Artisan Tamaioasa Romaneasca is produced by Domeniile Sahateni, with a focus on indigenous Romanian grape varieties. For the dry expression, grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by a period of skin contact before fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The sweet version utilizes late-harvest grapes. Some aging on lees may occur to enhance complexity. The winery adopts an ecological approach for many of its vineyards, with the 2022 harvest marking the release of their first ecological wines. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes respecting nature and the terroir to best express the grape's characteristics.
