Romanian Wine

Romanian wine has a winemaking history stretching back thousands of years, and Romania remains one of Europe's largest wine-producing countries, though it is still relatively undiscovered by many international consumers. The country's diverse regions, including Transylvania, Dealu Mare, Cotnari and Murfatlar, benefit from a range of climates and soils suited to both indigenous and international grape varieties. Romania is particularly known for its native white grapes such as Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Regala and the highly aromatic Tamaioasa Romaneasca, as well as the red grape Feteasca Neagra, which produces deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with dark fruit and spice characteristics. Cotnari, in the northeast, is historically renowned for producing exceptional sweet wines comparable to Tokaji. With increasing investment in modern winemaking alongside a renewed focus on indigenous varieties, Romanian wine offers excellent value and a genuine sense of discovery.
