Description In a world of familiar flavours it’s a real thrill to discover something new and delicious. Feteasca Neagra (the Black Maiden) is Romania’s oldest grape variety, a sometimes dark yet always luscious beauty that works wonderfully with the reassuringly familiar spicy Shiraz. It’s made by Lorena Deaconu and her team, whose credentials include supplying wine to the Royal Court of King Michael of Romania. Burebista is the latest in a line of popular wines Lorena has created exclusively for us. It comes from mountainous Muntenia in southeast Romania, most famous for gothic castles and associated folklore. With a character reminiscent of dried plums, forest berries and spice, this wine is ideal with warming casseroles or tasty sausages.
