Odobeşti Vineyard is one of the most famous and oldest Romanian vineyards, with a focus on white wines. The quality of the obtained wines is mainly due to the climatic conditions in this area and impresses with freshness and an extremely pleasant taste sensation. To improve the existing assortment of varieties over time at the Research and Development Station for Viticulture and Vinification in Odobesti, four vine varieties were obtained and approved: Sarba (1972), Babeasca gri (1975), Miorita (1980) and Vrancea (2018), with superior quality and productive potential and a high capacity to capitalise on the edaphoclimatic conditions specific to this viticultural area. In the climatic context of the area, these white wine varieties have demonstrated a valuable agrobiological and technological potential, comparable to that of the Sauvignon Blanc variety, which is widely grown in this area (see page 68).
