Tămâioasa Românească

In Romania, the grape variety was introduced by Greek colonists and by their trade with the Danube and Black Sea city ports, which recorded an exponential development during the reign of Boerebiste, the first Dacian king (82-44 BC). Its ancient history on Romanian soil, along with the survival following the phylloxera outbreak (approximatively 1860), grants it the right to be considered an indigenous variety.

Tamaioasa is a relatively vigorous plant, with late harvest grapes, with a high amount of sugar accumulated. The plant is sensitive to frost, drought, excessive humidity and various vine diseases. Its productivity is low and it is spread throughout the Romanian vineyards.

Tamaioasa Romaneasca is cultivated on an area of approx. 1,000 hectares, especially in the vineyards of Dragasani, Mehedinti, Stefanești-Arges, Dealu Mare, Pietroasele, Murfatlar și Cotnari.

Due to the high accumulation of sugar, this grape variety produces aromatic dessert wines with a very good ageing potential, with unique flower, honeycomb, linden, acacia, white rose, basil and incense fragrances. During this tame, as a general surprise, Tamaioasa Romaneasca has also been produced as a dry win and it impresses through its delicate body, freshness and typical fragrances.
