  • About
The Romanian wine regions are divided into eight distinct zones (see map): the plateau of Transylvania in the middle of the country; the Pannonian Plain on the Hungarian border in the old province of Crişana and Maramures; the Moldovan hills on the eastern slopes of the Carpathians; the warm, central Muntenia and Oltenia region in the southern Carpathians; Banat towards the borders with Hungary and Serbia; the knolls of Dobrogea between the Danube and the Black Sea; and the flatter Danube Terraces and the clumsily named ‘sands and other favourable lands in the south’, the last two being relatively unimportant as producers of good-quality wine.
