Liliac - The wine of Transylvania

Liliac has revitalised the Lechinta wine region, whilst respecting the traditions of Transylvanian winemakers; a history that has roots with the vines first planted by the Roman Empire and continued by German colonists, who cultivated the first vineyards at the foot of the Carpathians.

In each bottle of Liliac you will find a dedication to quality, attention to detail, and a spiritual connection to the soil and the Transylvanian climate, decanted by Austrian experience and innovative winemaking techniques.

We uphold Transylvanian viticulture traditions and value the region’s potential with our unique wines, made from hand harvested grapes, which are then processed with the same care and attention until full maturity, under the scrutiny and watchful eyes of the iconic bats that circle above the hills, protecting our vineyard.

The soil in the Batos vineyards, is solid, deep with a high capacity for water retention and sits at a low altitude. The area is characterised by significant differences in temperature between night and day. Covering 38 hectares the area is marked by its potential to make highly complex wines.

The 14 hectares have a specific microclimate enjoying warm summers and cool nights with enough rainfall to make irrigation unnecessary. Late summer mist helps slowly ripen the grapes, preserving the aromas and maintaining a good level of acidity. In short, the best conditions for wines, especially white wines.

For those interested to the region, Crama Liliac offers wine tourism and tasting packages which you can find directly on their website.
