"Scoop - this is the first Romanian wine to ever make this page and it is a joy. It’s also a spot on plummy merlot and they are rare these days, too. No oak, just fruit is the recipe here and the price is a surprise as well. Umbra means the shade, so this is the perfect al fresco red." Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail Weekend 21 May
2009 La Umbra, Merlot, Dealurile Munteniei, Romania (£5.99, Waitrose).
