Stephen Donnelly, the creator behind our wines, has spent a great deal of time trying to achieve a white wine that expresses the story behind its conception. This is how Premium Fume was born, an assemblage of three perfectly balanced noble varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris), whose name reminds us of the smoked wood of the oak barrel in which part of the wine was fermented.
The exact recipe for the production of our Fume is a closely guarded internal secret, known in detail only to Stephen and the team of professionals involved in the creation of the wine. Premium Fume has over time become a symbol of the Budureasca Winery, often copied but never equaled, appreciated at the most prestigious international competitions in the industry.
For Premium Fume, we chose three varieties of white grapes, each with a well-defined role in the assembly. Chardonnay offers fruity sensations, minerality and subtle vanilla influences inherited from the oak barrel, Sauvignon Blanc contributes the profile of exotic fruits and citrus, and Pinot Gris adds a little sweetness to the taste, helping to regulate the acidity.
All three varieties grow in our vineyards in the Dealu Mare region on plots positioned in such a way that the climate, altitude and soil allow reaching the full maturity of aromas and taste. The grapes are then selected on the sorting table, so that the result is a creamy and fine wine, ideal to be enjoyed as it is or in the company of the finest culinary dishes.
