Wines from MOLDOVA, ROMANIA  AND TURKEY

These amazing wines from Moldova, Romania and Turkey are now available in ATLANTA GEORGIA!

Wine making in Moldova and Romania goes back a long time. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew Romanian soils produced excellent wine-making grapes, and archaeological evidence suggests that wine making actually began in the region 6,000 years ago. And legend says that the Thracian god of wine was born north of the Danube River in what is now Romania. Romania sits in southeastern Europe, its eastern border facing the Black Sea. The country boasts four wine-making regions. The Murfatlar region lies near the Black Sea and enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. The area produces sweet wines.

Farther north and inland, the Cotnari area also produces sweet wines and was a favorite of  Stephen the Great, a 15th century Moldavian ruler who even had roads paved to the area to transport the fine wine. The Tarnave wine regions sits in Transylvania.

Fossils of Vitis teutonica vine leaves near the Naslavcia village in the north of Moldova indicate that grapes grew here approximately 6 to 25 million years ago. The size of grape seed imprints found near the Varvarovca village, which date back to 2800 BC, prove that at that time the grapes were already being cultivated. The grapegrowing and wine-making in the area between the Nistru and Prut rivers, which began 4000–5000 years ago, had periods of rises and falls but has survived through all the changing social and economic conditions.

By the end of the 3rd century BC, trading links were established between the local population and the Greeks and from 107 AD with the Romans, a fact which strongly influenced the intense development of the grape-growing and wine-making.

Jidvei_GEWURTZTRIMINER_WEB

JIDVEI GEWURZTRAMINER 13% ALC

Gewurztraminer is a distinctive yet underrated grape variety, capable of producing many styles, from dry to sweet.

Like any good wine, Gewurz should be balanced. The grapes need to be harvested at perfect ripeness to avoid bitterness, high alcohol and/or overt sweetness – especially when botrytis increases the sugar level. The variety does not have as much acidity as Riesling, but neither does Chardonnay and we all know how complex, long lived and exciting the best Burgundies can be.
