Vintruvian Estates is one of the most important players in the premium wine market in Romania. The holding company owns four wineries in several well-known Romanian regions: Caii de la Letea and Histria (a wild yeast winery) in Dobrogea near the Danube Delta; DeMatei in Dealu Mare; and Olterra in Drăgășani. In a short period of just eight years, the company has developed its premium position through organic growth and through carefully selected acquisitions, a strategy that will continue in the future. The group aims to preserve traditional methods while also using new winemaking technologies guided by our oenologists to emphasize the specific character and identity of each area.

Jnr who believe that Eger is one of the most
exciting wine regions of Hungary. They farm 45 hectares across 9 plots, growing as many as 20
varieties, and focus on blends that showcase the
terroir – especially in their exciting new wave
premium Bikavér reds that show that this
legendary wine can be world-class (they won Decanter Bestin Show in 2021). They say, “We are grateful that we have the chance to grow grapes here. We would like to create terroir-specific, characterful wines based on
tradition with modern quality winemaking. Old
local varieties, like Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű,
Furmint, Kadarka and Kékfrankos take priority here. We seek to know more about our terroirs and
parcels, to improve our cultivation....and put our heart and soul into understanding the essence of our passion.”
