Crama Iordache

Crama Iordache is a small family winery in the Drăgășani region, part of the new wave that brought Oltenia's native grapes back into focus. It works small quantities, with an emphasis on authenticity and the expression of place: Crâmpoșie Selecționată, Negru de Drăgășani, Novac and fresh whites, in honest wines with character. Without fuss and without loud marketing, the winery earned its regard through what's in the glass.

On the hills of the Olt's right bank, in an area where every small winery has its own story, a visit here means a warm welcome, a relaxed tasting and direct contact with the people who make the wine. It's the kind of stop that appeals to those after the authentic, far from the crowded circuits.
