2023 Drum Bun

Drum Bun translates to “bon voyage” and can be seen on every sign as you travel from village to village. Should you be seeing these sings, ideally you’re driving a Dacia 1300. This glorious automobile is the standard-bearer of the Romanian fleet and is as famous as the ubiquitous Fetească Regală grape. 50% spends 2 days on the skins and 20% direct pressed in barrel and the rest is fermented in tank with zero maceration. Edgar has learned to never rack too close to bottling and give it both time to come around. This patience pays off and we get a rare glimpse into what this grape is capable of outside of the more reductive, lower acid, halted malo, super aromatic and industrial versions that otherwise dominate the market.
