Odobești

One of the oldest and most important wine-growing areas in Romania in the Moldova region in the central east, named after the town of the same name. Viticulture was already practised here by the Romans at the turn of the century. Odobesti is home to the historic wine cellar "Beciul Domnesc" (Cellar of the Ruler), built by Prince Mihai Sturza in 1839, which is open to tourists. The area is especially known for its light and dry wines. However, a large amount of brandy is also produced here. The most common varieties are the indigenous Băbească Neagră, Codană, Fetească Albă, Fetească Neagră, Fetească Regală , Galbenă de Odobești, Mustoasă de Măderat, Plavay and Șarbă. The vines are traditionally raised in a star-shaped trellis system with up to 20 poles laid out horizontally.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
