The Cramele Recas Estate, owned by Englishman, Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have put in a huge amount of work into transforming their slice of grape growing history into a contemporary winemaking haven. The immaculate vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447 and much more recent plantings. Romania is re-establishing itself in the winemaking world as an area for outstanding grape growing and wine making.

All of our products include free delivery to your door. We dispatch on Wednesdays every week for delivery on Friday, so if you order before 5pm on a Wednesday, your wine will be delivered that Friday. Occasionally it might be delivered on the Thursday if our courier is being extra efficient!

As soon as we dispatch your wine you'll receive an email from us with the tracking number. That email will also let you know which wines we're sending and include a handwritten note  from our wine expert explaining why we've chosen those wines.

We normally deliver using Parcelforce, Hermes or Packfleet, who'll email/text you on the morning of delivery with an accurate time for delivery. You'll need to be in to sign for the delivery, unless you tell us it's OK to leave it with a neighbour or somewhere safe when you sign up.

If you ever have any issues with delivery, we're always here to help. Just drop us a message and we'll get back to you ASAP, normally within the hour.

 Tasting cards

Every delivery we send includes our beautiful tasting cards, which score every bottle on a variety of taste factors like acidity, tannin levels and body. Read about the vineyard the wine came from and why it tastes the way it does.

Carbon neutral delivery

We offset all of our deliveries to work towards our goal of building a business that's a net positive for the world. We support the Pachama Jari Pará Forest Conservation Project in the Amazon rainforest, protecting existing rainforest from deforestation.

Sustainable, recycled packaging

All of our wine is packaged in the most eco-friendly packaging we could find. Made out of pulped, recycled cardboard, it can then be composted or recycled once you're done with it.

Improves over time

Recipients can rate the wines they receive so we can customise future deliveries, making them better and better. A combination of our technology and in-house wine expert makes this wine delivery unique to the individual.

Choose your mix

Choose exactly how many red, white and rosé bottles to deliver. And if your order is for longer than a month, the mix can be tweaked anytime to make it just right.

Personal customer support

If there are ever any questions, we have support on-hand ready to help. Send us an email and we'll get it sorted as soon as possible; we reply to over 90% of messages within an hour.
