Osânda

Osânda is a curious and quietly striking wine - 100% Fetească Regală aged in mulberry, pine, and acacia, and it really shows. Not in an obvious way, but as a kind of whispering complexity that unfolds slowly. This time it hit me differently - more precise, more whole. White cherry, white mulberry, river stones.. but it's not about the checklist. The wine resists being broken down like that. It's fresh and delicate, with a subtle oily texture and good volume on the palate. Rounded, flavourful, and very much its own thing. One of those rare wines where the experience outweighs the sum of descriptors.
