Feteasca

Feteasca — 'maiden's grape' in Romanian — is one of the country's most important indigenous varieties, existing in white (Albă), royal (Regală) and black (Neagră) forms, producing wines of fresh floral fragrance, crisp acidity and genuine character that represent the authentic personality of eastern European winemaking. Wines Direct sources Feteasca-based wines from quality-focused independent Romanian producers who champion these native varieties with real ambition.

Feteasca is a family of white grape varieties native to Romania and Moldova, including Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Regala and the aromatic Feteasca Neagra used for red wine. The white Feteasca varieties produce aromatic, medium-bodied wines with flavours of stone fruit, green apple and floral blossom, often with a touch of honeyed richness in riper styles. Feteasca Regala in particular is valued for its versatility, capable of producing both dry, fresh whites and richer, off-dry styles with good ageing potential. As one of the most widely planted indigenous grape varieties in Romania, Feteasca represents an important part of the country's winemaking heritage and offers an accessible introduction to Eastern European wines. Feteasca-based whites pair well with poultry, pork dishes, soft cheeses and lightly spiced Central European cuisine. At Wines Direct, we offer a selection of Feteasca wines from Romania.
