This Moldovan Sauvignon surprises and delights in equal measure. Zingy and refreshing but with amazing finesse for the money, its a fully fledged customer favourite, reflecting ideal wine-growing conditions similar to New Zealand. Citrusy and crisp. Mention Sauvignon and you may well first think of New Zealand’s Marlborough.

But our top insider secret? There’s another ‘M’ out there making truly brilliant Sauvignon Moldova.

Like Marlborough, Codru in Moldova has a long, slow ripening season.

Its cold winds keep the grapes healthy and mean the vineyards can easily be grown organically.

Albastrele is made with handpicked grapes from the Tvarditsa Estate at an award-winning cellar well equipped for producing bright, modern whites.

Made from carefully selected handpicked grapes, winemaker Marian Haraba has crafted a truly impressive white wine.

Bursting with vibrant gooseberry and citrus aromas, Albastrele makes an elegant apritif or a delicious match for grilled fish or smoked salmon.
