At the foot of Macin Mountains lay Macin wine center’s
vineyards. Going from North to Sounth through Macin, Greci,
Carcaliu and Cerna, they form a line somewhat parallel with
the Old Danube. The volcanic rock, the limestone and the
loess, together with the mist that lays on the old branch of the
Danube (Macin branch), give birth to terroir, the local wine
with a very specific personality.
In Macin area is produced now a wide range of wines, which
bear the impression of their birth place, have an original
presentation and an excellent value for price. The wine’s
journey begins at AlcovinMacin, in Tulcea county. The
Dobrujan Wine Cellar and Terente’sVintry - with their
traditional menus, wine tastings and wines from Carcaliu and
Cerna vineyards - are included in the tourist circuit.
From all the white wines, Aligoté - a French wine, originally -
has become a trademark for SaricaNiculitel Vineyard. Dry,
heavy, mineral, with a strong scent of earth and flowers in its
youth, Aligoté is an excellent match for a lunch with fresh
Danube fish and goat cheese or sheep cheese.
Our range of white wines is completed with FeteascaRegala
and TamâioasaRomâneasca (Romanian breeds) and also with
Sauvignion Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Muscat Ottonel,
international breeds with notable results in Romanian
vineyards. The red wines produced in Macin are Feteasca
Neagra, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignion, Babeasca neagra and
Pinot Noir.
