More About Solara Orange Wine

In 1988, three visionary families embarked on a winemaking venture in Romania, revitalizing 650 hectares of neglected vineyards and a rundown, former state-owned winery.

Under the leadership of Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, Cramele Recas Estate has evolved into Romania's premier winery. Renowned globally for their expansive portfolio, including captivating natural and orange wines crafted from organic grapes, Recas epitomizes excellence on a grand scale. Despite their size, quality remains paramount, resulting in wines that consistently exceed expectations and ignite unprecedented demand.

Combining centuries-old vineyard plantings with modern viticultural practices, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, Recas embodies innovation and dynamism. Their progressive mindset and unwavering commitment to quality have positioned them as a leading force in the wine world—a winery impossible to overlook.

Enter our orange wine—a revelation that marries the refreshing allure of white wine with the complexity of red. Crafted by allowing grape skins and seeds to mingle with the pressed juice, it emerges with a mesmerizing deep orange hue. Fermented naturally, sans yeasts, sulphur, or additives, the blend undergoes meticulous blending before undergoing a natural cold stabilization process. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, each sip is an ode to purity and authenticity.

Meet the Producer, Cramele Recas

Cramele Recas

Style: Winery

Cramele Recaș is one of Romania’s biggest success stories and a very strong argument that excellent, affordable wine does not need to come from the same five famous countries forever. Based in western Romania near Timișoara, the winery has grown massively over recent decades while still producing wines with far more personality than large-scale operations usually manage.

The estate works with a huge range of grape varieties, from international classics like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Merlot through to native Romanian grapes such as Fetească Regală and Fetească Neagră. Importantly, the local varieties often end up being the most interesting part of the lineup.

What makes Cramele Recaș especially impressive is consistency. The wines are clean, polished and approachable, but they also retain freshness and regional character instead of disappearing into generic “international supermarket wine” territory.

The whites tend to lean crisp and aromatic with loads of easy drinkability, while the reds balance ripe fruit and soft spice without becoming heavy or overworked. The whole range feels built around enjoyment rather than intimidation.

There’s also a lovely sense that Romania is finally getting the wine attention it deserved years ago. Producers like Recaș helped push that change internationally by proving the country could compete on quality as well as value.

And honestly, wines this drinkable at these prices remain deeply dangerous for your weekly budget planning.
