Plaiurile Drancei forms part of the diverse wine landscape of Oltenia, where vineyards have developed across gently undulating terrain under the influence of warm summers and a continental climate. The combination of varied soils, favourable exposures and generous sunlight provides conditions for a wide spectrum of wine styles.
Traditional Romanian grape varieties remain an important part of the vineyard's identity. Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Neagra and Tamaioasa Romaneasca grow alongside internationally established varieties, reflecting the balance between local viticultural heritage and the development of contemporary Romanian wine.
International grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay broaden the stylistic range of the vineyard. The warmer sites favour structured and expressive red wines, while carefully selected locations allow white varieties to retain freshness, aromatic character and balance.
Contemporary winemaking in Plaiurile Drancei combines traditional knowledge with modern vineyard management and cellar techniques. This evolution allows producers to explore the potential of both indigenous and international grapes while preserving the regional character of the vineyard. The result is an increasingly diverse portfolio of wines shaped by the landscape of southwestern Romania.
Discover wines from the rolling hills of southwestern Romania, from native Feteasca varieties to structured international reds and elegant white wines shaped by the terroir of Oltenia.
