Crama Prince Ştirbey

Crama Prince Ştirbey is the most historic address at Drăgășani — the estate of the princely Știrbey family, which has made wine here for over a century and was the world's first bottler of Crâmpoșie Selecționată. Today, under the care of the Kripp-Costinescu family, the winery is a benchmark of authenticity: native grapes worked with respect — Crâmpoșie, Novac, Negru de Drăgășani, dry Tămâioasă — in wines without artifice that express terroir above fashion. The Genius Loci range gathers the estate's peaks.

Visits include tours of the historic cellars and tastings in the manor, in an atmosphere blending old nobility with modern winemaking. It's the heartfelt stop for anyone who wants to taste the revival of Oltenian wine at its source.
