Additional Information

Romania new? Not at all, it's a country with a long history. Legend has it that the wine god Bacchus spent his youth here.

Romania is the largest wine country in Central Europe. Thanks to its favorable climate and good location, they have been producing quality wines for many years. However, the country also experienced a decline in quality during the communist era, when quantity took precedence over quality. Fortunately, Romania is now once again among the top 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 with them new technology and industriousness that still forms the basis of Cramele Recas' success today.

Calusari is the Romanian word for the participants in the Cãlus, an acrobatic traditional folk dance. They make cheerful wines that dance in the glass.

The vineyards, spanning 600 hectares, were replanted at the beginning of the 21st century with the best quality grapevines. The vinification facilities are modern and efficient, and the winemaking team 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!
