About the grape variety
The most planted Fetească, responsible for fresh, aromatic whites in Romania. Fetească Regală, literally ‘royal young girl’, was first observed in the 1920s in the village of Daneș near Sighișoara, Transilvania, Romania, hence its synonym Dănășană. It was initially cultivated by a nurseryman called Gașpari from the town of Mediaș, who distributed it under the German name Dunesdörfer Königsast (Dejeu 2004), literally ‘king’s branch from Dunes village’. The wine obtained from this variety was then presented by Gașpari at the National Wine and Fruit Exhibition in Bucharest in 1928 under the name Fetească Regală, which was then adopted.
About the winery
Laurent Pfeffer is a french wine engineer and oenologist trained in Bordeaux, who first discovered Romania during a period of study and never wanted to leave. After realising the viticultural potential of Romania, he decided to look for land suitable for growing vines. Fate directed him to Corcova, where he discovered the history and winemaking tradition of this region.
In 2007 he decided to settle here and founded the Catleya estate, which he currently runs together with his wife, Anne-Cecile. Since 2021, the Catleya estate has been converting to organic farming, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, in order to materialise our efforts through the certification of an approved body.

How to recycle
Up to 90% of new glass can be made from recycled glass. If you’re getting ready for a night out on the town, drink consciously and remember to keep your empties and then bring to the bottle bank. If you’re hoping to leave future generations with a healthy-ish and useful environment, then recycling wine bottles is the way forward and it doesn’t take much effort.
