Romania has a very diverse landscape, with a classic continental climate, epitomised by hot summers and very cold winters. The winemaking regions of Romania follow a similar diverse pattern, the Banat region to the West has a historic influence gained from the Austro-Hungarians, Transylvania has a very Germanic influence seen through Rhine varieties.
The North East regions are famous for aromatic whites helped because of cool misty conditions. The Black sea coast influence winemaking in the Murfatlar region aiding varieties such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Southern regions of Dealu Mare leading down to Oltenia are better for reds with warmer conditions, soils, and aspect all helping the ripening of the grapes.
