And so, after many trips to Moldova where with the help of the Moldovan government and export/investment authorities and many wineries we established Granovia Wines in 2016. Our goal at Granovia Wines is simple, to help the country of Moldova by bringing our Granovia brand wines to wine lovers across the world and while doing so actively promote all the wines of Moldova.
Granovia Wines has a very unique and special business plan. We do not own vineyards. We do not own wineries. Granovia Wines works with different wineries and vineyards across Moldova to locate and later bottle some wonderful wines that we are proud to sell in our bottles with our unique Granovia Wine labels. We feature many of the popular French varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay and others. Merlot is especially good in the rich Moldovan soil which is perhaps why we received a gold medal on our first competition in Bergamo Italy in 2017 for our 2015 Merlot. We have also received a silver medal recently in Berlin for our Rose’ made with merlot grapes. We also feature regional grapes like our perfectly balanced white “Feteasca Alba” and our regional red “Feteasca Neagra”, which is like a deeper and spicier pinot noir. Granovia also blends regional grapes with French varietals to create our new “Cuvee 2016” and “Cuvee 2017”. All of which are just delicious yet reasonably priced.
I hope you try our Granovia Wines but I warn you they will only get better and better in the years ahead as Moldova keeps improving its products and walks proudly on to the world stage of great wines.
