Cramele Recas Solo Quinta, the iconic blend of four white grape varieties and one red variety vinified as a white wine, is produced from carefully selected grapes grown on clay-limestone soils and hand-harvested from the Dealul Tiganului, Uberland, Brunen and Pfefferberg vineyards.
In addition to previous vintages and taking into account the exceptional ripeness of the grapes, Hartley and Nora opted for ageing in 100% new French oak barriques from Dargaud & Jaegle, with Medium Toast and High Toast levels, for three months.
The proportion of grapes in the blend varies from year to year.
In the 2025 vintage, Chardonnay remains the dominant variety, while Cadarca is the red grape that gives this blend its well-known DNA: a full-bodied, rich and intensely aromatic white wine.
The 2025 edition stands out for its power and character.
The wine displays a brilliant, clear straw-yellow colour. The bouquet is concentrated and elegant, initially dominated by exotic fruits such as lychee, pineapple and passion fruit, complemented by summer fruit aromas of apricot and peach. With aeration, complex secondary notes of toast, roasted hazelnuts and caramel emerge.
On the palate, the wine is powerful yet harmonious, with impressive structure and balance. A persuasive white wine with remarkable character, it develops beautifully over time and can be enjoyed even after 15 years of ageing in temperature-controlled cellars.
