Production of the White Cabernet Sauvignon - NOVAK

The grapes for the White Cabernet Sauvignon - NOVAK come from the protected origin region of Valul lui Traian in southwestern Moldova. The area benefits from a climatic interplay of warm summers, abundant sunshine, and cooling winds from the nearby Black Sea region. These conditions promote even ripening, intense aromatic development, and stable berry structure.

The vineyards are rooted in a mixture of calcareous soils, clay, and sandy components. Limestone gives the wine tension and finesse, while clay soils contribute power and depth. The sandy component provides a fine tannin structure and clear fruit character. This combination of soils supports a balanced relationship between concentration and elegance.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested selectively to ensure that only fully ripe, aromatic berries are used. Careful selection directly in the vineyard and in the cellar noticeably enhances the quality of the fruit. The grapes reach the cellar as quickly as possible, preserving freshness and fruit intensity.

In the cellar, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This form of vinification emphasizes the pure fruit character of blackberry, blackcurrant, and sour cherry while preserving the typical Cabernet aromas. Stainless steel is neutral and allows the grapes to take center stage without adding additional oak notes. As a result, the variety and all its facets remain the focus.

NOVAK’s winemaking style emphasizes clarity, precision, and expression. Carefully calibrated extraction during fermentation produces deep color and intense aromas without creating harshness in the tannins. A gentle maturation phase in the tank smooths the structure and integrates acidity, tannins, and alcohol into a harmonious whole. The result: a red wine with distinctive personality, clear origins, and a modern style.
