Overview
Recaș lies in the Banat Hills at roughly 45 degrees north, where gentle 100 to 200 metre slopes face south, southeast and southwest. The site benefits from a long growing season and some of Romania's mildest winters.
A temperate continental climate touched by sub-Mediterranean air produces balanced wines. The vineyards are known for fresh Fetească Regală, Burgund Mare and international varieties such as Pinot Noir, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.
Key Varietals
