Romania, wine tradition

January 18, 2007

Cabernet of Carpathians Where do I begin? Well, its hard but still I will start with… the beginning. Greeks arrived in Dacia (present day Romania) 3,000 years ago and brought the vine. We should say that the first wine was a red one. The geographical position and climate were an advantage, needless to say the natives loved the sweet, tasty and powerful flavour.

The vineyards extended and diversified until they obtained white wine and more. During the history of the land, wine as people had its rough times too. The vines were burned, distroyed by pests but they managed to grow from their own ashes as Romania is one of the greatest exporters of wine in Europe. That is also due to various vines brought here from the Western Europe (France, Germany), vines that found a unique soil and special conditions developing their native taste with new flavours.

The wine tradition of this country is bound to reveal interesting aromas and delicious brands as Beciul Domnesc, and not only.
