We will start producing our own wine from this autumn’s harvest, highlighting both Romanian traditional varieties such as Feteasca Neagra, Tamaioasa Romaneasca, but also international varieties, known to Romanians - Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. Our portfolio of imports is based on a careful and exclusive wine selection from both Old World and New World: Rosé wines from Southern France, Tempranillo from Spain, German Rieslings, Shirazuri from Australia or Carmenere from Chile”, said Dan Muntean, founder of Domeniul Muntean wine house.
The company is finalizing the purchase of a wine cellar and an area of about 70 hectares of vines in the Dealu Mare wine region.
Dan Muntean has an experience of over 30 years in the wine industry, and a good part of this period he worked at Halewood Romania, where he served as genral director until December 2016 when he decided to leave the company.
