Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I'm not as familiar with Romanian wines as I should be (like most of us) but this one is a value priced beauty. I don't taste enough Feteasca Neagra to know if this is typical but it's very Beaujolais-like. Loads of juicy fruitiness with some fresh acids and a kiss of sweetness. Try a bottle at no great cost and be pleasantly surprised.
From Dealu Mare in Romania, Crama Ceptura Astrum Cervi (2017) is made 1005 from the Feteasca Neagra wine grape, typically used to craft Fortified dessert wines in Romania. However, this is a dry red wine style for this grape. Deep garnet red in the glass with dried plum, black currant, cake and cedar spice flavours on this smoky full-bodied and intense red with good acidity and soft tannins. Crama Ceptura is located at an altitude of 160 m in Ceptura Village, in the heart
of the Dealu Mare wine region in Prahova County. The noble stag or red deer illustrated on the label is known to frequent the area. - Community Wine Reviews
