The vineyards of Budureasca are located on the same geographical coordinates (44° to 46°) as famous wine regions of the world, such as Bordeaux and Burgundy. This means that the terroir confers the potential to produce extraordinary D.O.C. wines (controlled designation of origin), winners of numerous international medals.
The Vine in Flames is our collection of wines intended exclusively for the international market. All wines in this range are dry, bringing out the best characteristics of each variety. They are matured in oak barrels to gain complexity ad structure, and they are aged in bottles for at least four months before being launched on the market.
The legend says that, as the popularity of the excellent Dacian wines spread across the region, the Dacian king Burebista feared that his territories would be in danger of foreign attack. To stop this, Burebista decided to burn the vineyards, so no foreign invader could benefit from them.
Centuries later, we can all benefit once again from the vines of this area, regrown from the ashes of Dacian vineyards, and producing enviable, high-quality wines.
Budureasca Clasic collection containes red, white, and rose wines with an excellent price-quality ratio. The Clasic wines are fresh, young and modern style wines, with unique aromas, which are both affordable and suitable for everyday consumption or even for special events.
These wines are usually medium dry and are intended primarily, but not exclusively, for the medium-range retail market, where the demand for such wines is very high.
The name Budureasca was inspired by the history of these lands as an expression of the respect we have for our history. Dacian vestiges were found in the archaeological site near Budureasca vineyards, and this is a confirmation that the locals were growing grapes and crafting wines since the oldest times.
Bristena is our collection intended primarily but not exclusively for ladies. The packaging and vibrant visual elements on the painted-like label give these wines an air of feminity, and the flowers represent their sweet and very delicate aromas.
The wines in this collection are made from grapes selected from vines that are over 60 years old, giving great characteristics and good structure to the wines. They are all fresh, medium sweet with intense floral and fruity elements.
The name Bristena was chosen due to its Dacian connotation and meaning. It is said that Bristena was Dacians daughter, a brave little girl who helped Dacians to defend the country from enemies. The legend says that she even released from prison a large number of people, including her father.

Prima Stilla (from Latin - ‘First Drop’) is the first sparkling wine produced by Viile Budureasca and is primarily created to be savoured in restaurants, clubs and other dining venues. This sparkling wine is bound to shine in every setting that is inspired by joy, modernity, youth spirit, and optimism, where it will capture everyone’s attention.
The grapes were harvested manually and early, when they had not yet reached their full maturity, thus allowing us to obtain a high acidity and a type of effervescence which is typical for sparkling wines of premium quality.
Produced using the traditional method (also known as 'Champenoise'), with double fermentation − 4 months in the tank and 18 months in the bottle − these great sparkling wines have developed a fine, delicate, and consistent bead, which can last up to 4 hours.
Budureasca Shine is a collection of sparkling wines produced in Italy from grapes harvested from our vineyards in Dealu Mare. These wines were created using the Charmat method, which means that the wine was fermented exclusively in stainless steel tanks. The result is a lighter type of sparkling wine, more fruity and fresh. It’s easier to drink while being less bubbly and less acidic.
By perfecting this wine in Italy, using our grapes and the technology and experience of the ones who perfected the famous Prosecco wines, we’ve honored a big part of our history. More than 2000 years ago the Dacian people were united with the advanced Roman civilization creating the Romanian nation. And here we are again joining our values to create these high-quality wines.
This collection is composed of two sparkling wines. A White Brut obtained form 100% traditional Romanian Feteasca Alba grapes, and a Rose Dry, created from 50% Pinot Gris and 50% Pinot Noir grapes. The name 'Shine' was chosen to represent the joyful and fresh spirit of these wines.
The story of 8 Barrels is very interesting. Initially, this wine was created to mark the birthday of the President of China. The gift was a real success and received great appreciation. Because of this, we decided to include 8 Barrels in the winery's portfolio.
The label of the wine is one of the main attractions, describing the famous Chinese dragon entwined with the wolf-headed snake, the ancient battle flag of the Dacians. Together, the two symbols form the number 8, which marks the eight oak barrels carefully chosen by our winemaker, Stephen Donnelly, to create this exquisite blend.
We created 8 Barrels from 88% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot. This wine is matured for 12 months in oak barrels.
