The family of Prince Stirbey has owned vineyards in the Dragasani wine region in southern Romania since the 18th century. Stirbey wines – synonymous with outstanding quality - were well known and appreciated in Romania and throughout Europe.
As granddaughter of Princess Maria Stirbey and owner of the family vineyards, I intend to guide this tradition to a new renaissance. Together with my husband, Baron Jakob Kripp, I took over my ancestral property in 2001. We renovated the vineyards and installed state-of-the-art winemaking technology, yet still preserve the gentle and attentive old traditions of vintners.
Our most important objectives are:
• Furthering indigenous grape varieties and their specific characteristics
• Rediscovery of the regional „terroir“
• Natural vineyard maintenance
• Gentle, clean grape processing in the wine cellars
• Use of modern winemaking technology only where absolutely necessary
Tasting our wines, we invite you to experience the traditions of Prince Stirbey’s Walachian family as well as the scents and tastes of Romania’s yet undiscovered nature.
