WELCOME TO SELECT WINES OF ROMANIA

Tucked in the southeastern corner of Europe where the Blue Danube opens into the Black Sea, Romania has a winemaking history that dates back more than 4,000 years. Legend has it that Dionysus, the Thracian god of wine, was born in Romania and that Plato declared its vineyards the best in the world.

Today, vineyards dot the Romanian landscape from Transylvania to the Danube delta in what has been called Europe’s last great unspoiled frontier. Indigenous grapes and international varieties flourish here at the same latitude as Europe’s finest wine regions including Bordeaux, Burgundy and Piemonte. Plantings are influenced by both the terroir and individual winemakers.

To introduce Romania’s top wines to the U.S. market, five of Romania’s leading wineries have joined together as Select Wines of Romania. Discover how each of these distinctive wineries embrace Romania’s rich wine heritage while producing fine contemporary wines that make it known that Romanian wines have arrived once again on the international scene.
