King's Valley Murfatlar - Medgidia Fruvimed 1998
The 1998 King's Valley is a red wine produced by S.C. FRUVIMED S.A. under the Appellation Murfatlar - Medgidia Contrôlée. Designated as a Barrel Select release, the wine originates from vineyards situated on the soft hills of the Dobrudja Plateau, which accompany the banks of the Danube-Black Sea Canal.
Dobrudja, located in southeastern Romania, is a historical wine region uniquely positioned between the Danube River and the Black Sea. It boasts a viticultural tradition that spans over two millennia, tracing back to ancient Greek colonists and the Roman Empire. Within this prominent region lies the Murfatlar - Medgidia appellation, where Medgidia serves as a specific sub-appellation of the larger Murfatlar classification. The landscape is characterized by broad river terraces and gentle hills. Here, the soils consist predominantly of limestone, gravel, clay, and nutrient-rich humus, providing excellent drainage for the vines.
The climate in Dobrudja is distinctly continental, making it one of the warmest and driest areas in Romania with over 300 days of sunshine annually. The high temperatures during the growing season are moderated by cooling breezes from both the Black Sea and the Danube, ensuring a long and stable ripening period for the grapes.
This wine is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most renowned blue grapes utilized for structured red wines. While this variety is typically associated with regions such as Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany, it is also cultivated successfully in Murfatlar. Historically, the Murfatlar area built its reputation on sweet wines based on late harvest and noble rot, but today the appellation is equally recognized for producing quality red wines from international varieties.
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.
