The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Dobrudja
Dobrudja (also known as Dobrogea) is a historic wine region located in southeastern Romania. Geographically, the area is uniquely situated between the Danube river in the west and the Black Sea in the east, and it stretches across a landscape that includes, among other things, the vast Danube delta. The region's vineyards are primarily planted on the gentle hills and plateaus that characterize the landscape towards the coast and along the riverbanks.
The climate in Dobrudja is continental, and the region constitutes one of the warmest and driest areas in Romania. The summers are warm and dry, while the winters are moderate. The proximity to the Black Sea contributes with moderating breezes that ensure a long and stable growing season for the vines. The soil is varied and consists in several places of limestone, gravel, and clay, which creates highly favorable conditions for viticulture.
The wine tradition in Dobrudja is one of the country's oldest and can be traced back more than two millennia to ancient Greek colonists and the Roman Empire. Today, the region is recognized as one of Romania's most important wine areas and is home to several well-known subregions, of which Murfatlar is the most prominent. A wide range of both local and international grape varieties is grown, and the area produces both red and white wines, including historically recognized sweet wines.
