Cabernet Sauvignon

In Romania, Cabernet Sauvignon has been widely embraced, becoming a key red grape variety. Spanning over 5,345 hectares, it thrives in regions such as Dealu Mare, Dragasani, and Recas in the Banat wine region, among others.

Romanian Cabernet Sauvignon often exhibits unique traits thanks to the country's diverse soils and climatic conditions. The wines are distinguished by their fresh and vibrant fruit profiles, combined with a signature spiciness that reflects Romania’s terroir diversity. Romanian winemakers have excelled in crafting styles ranging from approachable, youthful, fruit-driven wines to complex, full-bodied examples that benefit from extended aging in oak barrels.

This variety plays a crucial role in showcasing Romania’s ability to produce internationally competitive wines. The local continental climate—with hot summers and cold winters—enhances the development of tannins and flavor concentration, resulting in structured, expressive wines that reflect the excellence of Romanian viticulture.
