Romanian Wine Regions

While Romania has a rich history of wine making (dating back 2500 years), it is a relative newcomer to the wine exporting market.  In fact, Romania currently ranks 12th in world wine production.   Romania’s vineyards, once owned by the government, are now privatized. That means an emerging wine-producing market with traditional winemakers eager to compete on the international market.  And to compete, quality and price are the driving factors in production.  In the end that means a better product on your shelves and in your glass.  ​

The open Romanian wine market is attracting experienced French and Italian winemakers who recognize that the rich soil and climate are perfect for  producing high-quality wines.  This outside expertise combined with a skilled Romanian workforce, newer technology and highly fertile soil makes for a satisfying wine experience.
