Lacrima lui Ovidiu est un vin doux fortifié, oxydé, avec une personnalité particulière, fait à partir des meilleures récoltes des vignobles de Murfatlar. Il se distingue par un bouquet complexe, marqué par le vieillissement, mais aussi par son aspect soyeux et onctueux. La profondeur de sa couleur et la richesse de son arôme sont dues au vieillissement en futs de chêne pendant plusieurs années des vins de base. L'assemblage avec des vins jeunes lui donnent, de plus, une saveur fraiche de fruits et un bel équilibre entre la douceur et l'acidité.

D. O. C. – - MURFATLAR
All the grapes at Murfatlar are DOC, our vineyard of about 4000 hectares - enjoying a particularly favorable and unique micro-climate in Romania, giving
- to our winemakers the ability to produce a wide variety of wines. This
- flexibility is due to the continental climate, the diversity of planting
- locations, the protective effect of the hill against the predominant
- North-Eastern cold currents, and the favorable influence of the Black Sea,
- which tempers the excessive heat and frost. Most importantly, it is the
- proximity to the Black Sea that gives the vineyard the same climate conditions
- as other well known vineyards around the world, such as Bordeaux.
