A distinct and valuable grape variety, and related to Negru de Drăgășani, Novacul comes from a cross between Saperavi, a variety originating in Georgia, and Negru Vârtos, an almost forgotten Romanian variety. The Novac variety displays in Castel Bolovanu a whole “fruit basket”. Black fruit aromas are predominant. Hints of cherries, blueberries, blackberries, and plums are complemented by shades of chocolate and much vivacity.
