RED WINES
New stock now available in Australia
RomWine Australia is proud to introduce a revolutionary approach to the Australian beverage landscape. By hitting the “sweet spot” of 18% alcohol, a Romanian Melbourne-based father and daughter crafted a smooth, balanced aperitif that sits between the lightness of traditional wine and the intensity of spirits—offering a sophisticated depth that Australia hasn’t tasted before.
Their story begins in the mystical heart of Transylvania, Romania. This is where the founder, Rareș, learned the rhythm of the land. His childhood was defined by the purity of the countryside—collecting water from deep wells and climbing ancient trees to harvest the orchard’s bounty. In Transylvania, these fruits weren’t just food; they were the soul of the family’s craft. For a couple of generations, the women of his family—the grandmothers and aunts—were the custodians of the recipe. They crafted fruit brandies and aperitifs that were so pure, so invigorating, that the locals referred to them as their “daily medicine.” This wasn’t industrial alcohol; it was a handcrafted tonic made from the earth. Today, Rareș is passing that “medicine” and that sacred tradition down to his daughter. Transylvania Spirits is the perfect marriage of two worlds.
While Rareș provides the ancient soul and distilling expertise, his daughter brings the pulse of the modern Australian hospitality scene. Together, they have taken a recipe from a hidden Romanian orchard and refined it for a modern glass.
Blueberries love the mountains. They thrive in the thin air, the rocky soil, and the cool, mist-covered climates of the high peaks. For Rareș, the founder of Transylvania Spirits, the annual blueberry harvest is more than just a season—it’s a portal to the past.
Afinata is a celebration of the blueberry in its purest form. At a refined 18% alcohol, this isn’t a sugary syrup—it is a full-bodied, complex aperitif. It carries the signature sweet-yet-earthy taste that can only come from fruit that has braved the mountain elements. It is deep, it is rich, and it is unapologetically authentic.
You don’t have to climb the Transylvanian peaks to taste the wild. Whether you’re sipping it neat to catch those earthy undertones or mixing it into a modern cocktail for a sweet, superfood kick, Afinata brings the mountain to you.

Sour Cherry (Vișinată) begins with the bold, unmistakable character of organic sour cherries. Unlike mass-produced liqueurs that rely on artificial syrups, Vișinată is a rare harvest crafted with zero “nasty stuff.” It leads with a unique sweet-tart profile that is bright on the tongue and balanced in the finish—a family secret, now shared with Australia.

The wine has a pale rose colour, discreet, bright and sharp, you’re greeted with a discreet nose, fine aromas reminiscent of strawberries and forest frăguţelor.

It’s a great wine, a classic Bohotin Busuioacă, but “sisters” that we find in stores for years.
