Transylvania

What characterizes Transylvanian wines?

Surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, the Transylvanian plateau features high altitudes, a cool continental climate, and fog. These conditions are ideal for white and early-ripening red grapes, allowing them to preserve bright natural acidity and intense fruity aromas. The region is dominated by:

• Local Variety Discoveries: The pride of the region are the Fetească Regală and Fetească Albă varieties. A highly aromatic white wine smelling of flowers and green apples is made from them.
• International Classics: The cool climate allows for the successful cultivation of Pinot Noir, from which an elegant, light-bodied red wine featuring cherry and earthy notes is pressed.

What to taste Transylvanian production with?

Crisp white beverages from the region perfectly match poultry, trout, fresh vegetable salads, and traditional Eastern European pastry dishes. Light reds will perfectly complement meat stews, mushroom dishes, and savory cheese snacks.
