Other information

Romania new? No, it's a country with a long history.

Romania is the largest wine-producing country in Central Europe. Partly due to the favorable climate and good location, they have been producing quality wines for years. However, the country also experienced a dip in quality during the communist era. Quantity took precedence over quality. Fortunately, Romania is currently again among the ten largest wine producers in the world.

The wine industry received a boost in the 18th century from Germans who emigrated from Bavaria to this part of Romania. They brought new technology and work ethic that still forms the basis of Cramele Recas's success today.

The vineyards, 600 hectares in size, were replanted at the beginning of the 21st century with the best quality grapevines. The vinification rooms are modern and efficient, and the team of winemakers is led by Hartley Smithers (Australia) and Nora Iriate (Spain). As a result, Cramele Recas wines are praised worldwide for their excellent value for money!

Tip: Drink this wine at a temperature of 12 to 16 degrees, this ensures more freshness in the wine!
