harvest morning · hands · baskets
A week earlier than last year.
Three warm nights in August pushed the Fetească forward. We picked by hand, as always, but finished before the rain.

A winery · a restaurant · a place to gather
Considered occasions,
honestly made.
A working estate in the Târnave hills — where the restaurant answers to the harvest, the cellar keeps its own hours, and the grounds still remember the weddings of a century.

II · A quiet introduction
Four generations along
Four generations along
the same fourteen hectares.
The cellar was dug into the hill in 1897 by Ioan Feruccio — a schoolteacher who believed, perhaps too plainly, that a place ought to make what it eats and drinks. Five years ago his great-granddaughter took it on. The vines are the same. The methods, slightly better; the ambition, deliberately modest.

III · From the journal
Notes from the estate.
harvest morning · hands · baskets
kitchen pass · autumn menu prep
The autumn menu, in its own hand.
Quince, venison, the last of the summer tomatoes held over. Six courses that speak at the edges of two seasons.
cellar · barrels · lantern light
Racking the 2024 Fetească.
Twelve months on the lees. Quiet, tart, and a little green — which is to say, exactly what we hoped for.
