Romania has a long history of producing world class wine. In the 17th century, its Cotnari was the toast of Europe. Today, with “some of Europe’s greatest cool climate vineyards” (Hugh Johnson), Romania is once again pleasing palates with fruit filled wines. R2 is a deliciously fresh Riesling made by talented Lorena Deaconu, also responsible for our much adored Paris Street wines. Picking in early morning and fermenting the pristine grapes at a low temperature means maximum freshness in this tasty wine. It’s top value too, so well worth having a bottle or two in the fridge at all times. A tasty glass on its own and a perfect party pleaser, R2 is also very versatile with food – seafood, spicy Asian cuisine, vegetable risotto or creamy pasta.
