Vineyard

Vine cultivation has always thrived on the hills of Moldova, with the Huși Vineyard serving as a perfect example of this timeless symbiosis.

Located in the southeastern part of the Central Moldavian Plateau, with a cool climate and fertile soils, the Huși Vineyard spans 3,000 hectares of stunning beauty, ideal for growing exceptional grape varieties. Time has not diminished the ancient craft of the local people; vine cultivation has been passed down from father to son for centuries, with the Huși Vineyard bearing the imprint of the community’s passion and tradition.

Branded wine is a familiar concept in the Huși Vineyard, where we find valuable old varieties like Zghihară de Huși, Fetească Regală, Busuioacă de Bohotin, and Fetească Albă, alongside international varieties such as Aligoté, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

All the Best from the Huși Vineyard
From the aromatic varieties of the vineyard, unique flavors are born year after year across the 650 hectares of Averești Domains. The fine liquor that defines the Huși Vineyard is the famous Zghihară wine, authentically Romanian. The yellowish-green grapes, with rusty spots as proof of the sun’s caress, yield a dry, light white wine characterized by its crisp acidity. Known locally as Poama Voioasă de Huși, Zghihară de Huși wine is not meant for aging and is best enjoyed young. With its high acidity, it’s the ideal companion for seafood and salads.

Another gem of the region is Fetească Regală, the most widely distributed variety in Romania’s wine-growing centers. Popularly called Dăneşană because it was discovered in the locality of Daneș near Mediaș, it is the youngest member of the Fetească family. This variety produces dry and semi-dry white wines that are fresh, intense, and truly deserving of their royal association.

Fetească Albă, an old Romanian variety, is celebrated for its floral aromas, offering a wine with a fine taste and moderate acidity. Its small, densely packed berries are expertly crafted into dry or semi-dry wines with a balanced alcohol content ranging from 11.5% to 12% ABV. Fetească Albă is recommended for lovers of elegant wines with delicate aromas.

Busuioacă de Bohotin, a purely Romanian variety, delights with its highly aromatic wines. Averești is among the few wine-growing areas in Romania that produce a memorable rosé Busuioacă from its reddish-purple berries. This wine is a study in contrasts—delicate and fine, yet with firm characteristics.

The Aligoté variety brings typicality and elegance to our wines. This white grape variety, with its small, juicy berries, produces a dry wine with a balanced, fruity taste and refreshing character that enhances its majestic simplicity.

Cabernet Sauvignon, though originating in the southwest of France in the 17th century, quickly found its place in the Huși Vineyard. Its bright red grapes produce a dry wine with medium acidity, a well-balanced structure, and a rich, expressive body.

From the wild grapes of the Bordeaux region, the Sauvignon Blanc variety emerged long ago. These wines are now appreciated for their freshness, thanks to their high acidity and naturally low sugar content. Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine with a yellow hue and bright greenish reflections, pairing excellently with appetizers, fish, shellfish, and shrimp.

Traminer has earned its place among the beautiful Huși varieties. This pink grape variety, with large, sweet berries, offers a semi-sweet, yellowish-green wine that is highly aromatic, well-balanced, and delicately fragrant.

Of all these varieties that have thrived in this fruit-friendly Moldovan land, Averești wines impress with their uniqueness—easy to appreciate yet unforgettable.
