Nikolaos Wild Yeast Cabernet 750ml (Crama Histria)
This Nikolaos Wild Yeast Cabernet Sauvignon from Crama Histria is fermented with wild yeast from hand-picked and sorted grapes in the Dobrogea region of Romania. ABV 14.9%
This Romanian Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctive expression of terroir and traditional winemaking. Fermented solely with wild yeasts — the natural yeasts present on the grapes and in the vineyard environment — this wine showcases a pure, authentic flavor profile that speaks directly of its Dobrogea hillside origins.
On the nose, expect an expressive bouquet of ripe dark fruits — think blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum — with layered nuances of earthy spice, subtle oak, and a hint of tobacco or dark chocolate.
The palate is medium-to-full-bodied with structured tannins and balanced acidity, offering complex fruit intensity and a lingering finish that reflects both elegance and depth. The wild-yeast fermentation adds extra texture and aromatic nuance, making the wine feel lively and distinctive.
This Cabernet is typically dry, expressive, and crafted with minimal intervention, allowing the terroir — influenced by Dobrogea’s sunny climate and unique soils — to shine through.
Recommended food pairings: grilled meats, rich stews, aged cheeses, or hearty, savory dishes that can stand up to its bold character.
