Cotnari vineyards: 2 simple words, but full of meaning, which carry the history of over 2000 years of a legendary land and the uninterrupted tradition of producing an authentic Romanian wine, synonymous with the excellence of winemaking craftsmanship. That is why the first international distinction was obtained in the times of Al. I. Cuza.
The Cotnari vineyard is especially famous for its traditional white varieties: Grasă de Cotnari, Tămâioasă Românească and Fetească Albă, joined by Busuioaca (vinified rose) and Feteasca Neagră, for the red varieties. This brings together the experience and history of Cotnari SA with the innovation and excellence of the House of Cotnari Wines. And when the heritage is linked to terroir, well-kept winemaking secrets and skill, the result can only be a perfect, quality Cotnari wine. The emblem of the House of Cotnari Wines captures the Vlădoianu Castle, built in 1901 by the nobleman Vlădoianu himself, former governor of the BNR and distinguished winegrower, as pure inspiration in the story of the wine.
The wine road is long but rewarding. In every bottle of wine you feel the heritage and gratitude for the fruit. Tradition blends perfectly with technology and knowledge born of passion. Quality grapes are the core of a premium wine. Cotnari's plantations follow a low plant density, a large distance between the rows, which allows for efficient air circulation and modern machinery. The Cotnari wine needs a quiet maturation in oak casks for up to 2 years. Then, it is bottled or kept in the wine cellar to delight future generations with its bouquet.
There is never a moment in a man's life when Cotnari wine is not by his side. It successfully accompanies the finest dishes, from main courses to dessert. It represents a surprising and always tasteful gift of the soul.
You don't drink Cotnari wine. You taste it. It is a divine promise. When it accompanies a long-lasting feast, drunk in moderation, it develops noble, astonishing reactions.

Our grapes have 14 additional days to absorb the entire heat from the sun. There is a place where nature gives more. 14 days during which the best harvest is carefully hand-picked. 14 days that give Crama Ceptura wines more time to gain a distinct taste and a unique savour

Domeniile Franco-Române (DFR) represent the vision of the winemaker Denis Thomas's to create Romanian wines with a French touch, inspired by the terroir of Dealu Mare. Transitioning to organic farming in 2003, DFR achieved certification for Romania's first organic wine in 2006. Today, DFR is under the ownership of the Olariu family, Romanian investors, who have expanded it by incorporating 40 hectares from "Domeniile Persu-Eminescu," a vineyard area with historical significance. This land has been in the possession of Mihnea Olariu's great-grandparents, Alexandru Persu and Ecaterina Eminescu, since the 1840s. Alexandru Persu was an agronomist engineer and former mayor of Tohani commune, while Ecaterina Eminescu was the granddaughter of the greatest Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu. Retroceded to the Olariu family in 2002, this addition complements the original vineyard started by Denis Thomas.

”A tribute to people, nature and life” - Discover the charm of an idyllic past
Strehan winery is a boutique winery located in the heart of the famous Dealu Mare vineyard, from which, over the years, some of the most appreciated Romanian wines were born. Our vineyard is situated at the foot of Strehan Hill, endowed with a Mediterranean microclimate that even allows the growth of almond and fig trees. Here, the cultivation of vines is a way of life based on a tradition handed down from generation to generation, as attested by written documents dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as archaeological finds in the area. But the emergence and development of this ancient occupation was not accidental. It is all due to the extraordinary natural conditions here in the so-called ‘Wine Country’.
