The wines of Romania’s Sâmburesti region have proven their worth in front of

demanding drinkers across centuries, always passing the test. They thus reflect the

idea that quality stands on its own merits, with no regard to artificial boundaries

of time or space.

The first mention of the Sâmburesti domain dates from 1521. It was then ruled

by the Rudeanu noble family whose most illustrious member was a chancellor

to Michael the Brave, the prince who first united the three provinces now

constituting modern Romania.

History of Samburesti Vineyards

5

Winemaking in Sâmburesti is noted in documents from 1638, and the tradition

was continued by subsequent owners of the land.

By the middle of 19th century, the vineyards were owned by the legendary

Bratianu family, which counts among its members several statesmen and

founders of the modern Romanian state.

Vintila Bratianu, who would be prime-minister towards the end of his life,

called upon famed French oenologist Auguste Joseph Ville to come to Sâmburesti

in 1906 to recover the vineyards lost to phylloxera by using imported French grape

varieties.

Legend: 3. Vintila Bratianu: prime-minister of Romania state (1927-1928) and minister of finance (1922 /1926)

Under the communist regime that ruled Romania for much of the 20th century,

the wines from Sâmburesti became a mainstay at high-level dinners with foreign

dignitaries.

While it may be mere folklore that Sâmburesti was Stalin’s favourite wine,

we know for sure that French presidents Charles de Gaulle and Valery Giscard

d’Estaing enjoyed it on their state visits to Romania.

Throughout the years of penury that came at the end of Ceausescu’s regime, the

wines of Sâmburesti became a rare and prized find even for the connaisseurs.

Legend: 5. Labour day Reception ( 1st of May 1965)

Following the fall of communism, the Sâmburesti winery fell into disrepair

until the legend was reborn in 2005, when the VALVIS Holding Group took over the

property.

With the winery’s storied history in mind, the current owners have sought to

blend a tradition of excellence with the best winemaking technology available

today in order to introduce the world to the wonder that is the Sâmburesti wine.

A state-of-the-art bottling line was installed and new equipment is being

purchased, while the vineyards themselves are undergoing a multi-year renewal

programme under the guidance of renowned French specialists from Guillaume

Nurseries.

The Legend is Reborn

TerroirThe Sâmburesti vineyards are living proof that great wine is a wonder of nature

that begins at the root of the vine.

And our terroir has been blessed with exceptional qualities that make it ideal

for winemaking in every possible way.

It is as if Nature has worked to make Sâmburesti a cradle for great wine for

thousands of years. There is the soil abounding in the precious mineral and

organic elements required to engender the vines. Then, the majestic Olt river

nearby, one of Romania’s longest, has bestowed its gifts upon our land.

Legend: 8. Sâmburesti vineyards -2011

9

From days of yore, when the river was much wider, our vineyards have

inherited the boulders that the river had brought downstream.

Now caught in the loamy-sandy earths, these boulders capture sunrays during

daytime, only to release warmth gradually at night, acting as nature’s own heat

reservoirs.

This allows the grapes to ripen slowly and unhurriedly, boosting their sugar

content and flavor in an ideal climate that receives relatively little rain throughout

the year.

Last, but not least, proximity to the Olt river has enabled the Sâmburesti

vineyards to benefit from an ideal level of humidity over the lifecycle of the vines.

The quality of Sâmburesti wines has been attested by numerous medals and

awards won throughout the wineryís existence. As early as 1891, the Sâmburesti

wines won medals in Paris, while their taste was singled out by the sommelier of

the 1937 World Exhibition.

All of the wineries submissions won gold medals in 1961 in Germany, while 28

gold medals and 16 silver ones followed at contests in Tbilisi, Ljubljana and Leipzig.

Sâmburesti red wines also came home with 16 gold medals and 12 silvers from

contests in Paris, Bordeaux, Budapest and Moscow in the 70s.

Legend: 10. gold medal at the Universal exhibition of Paris on 12th of September 1926.

Awards

11

Most recently, the Samburesti Cabernet Sauvignon won the gold medal of the

Golden Grape national competition in 2010, the gold medal for the category of red

wines at VINVEST national wine contest in 2011 the most prestigious wine contest

in Romania and an even more important silver medal at the Excellence Awards

organized by the Vinul.ro portal.

This last medal was awarded by a jury formed of both Romanian and

international sommeliers and journalists, in a contest organized according to

world-class standards of rigour and secrecy for the samples. It is a testimony of the

quality of the Samburesti wines that such awards were won after a mere few years

following the re-launch of the brand.

And we’ve only just begun.

History is on our side. The seasons are on our side. The earth is on our side. With

so many gifts, we have no excuses for producing anything less than great wines.

At Sâmburesti, the journey begins anew.

We hope you will join us on it.
