摩尔多瓦，一个位于东欧腹地的国家，也是前苏联时期的一员。它被乌克兰南部的敖德萨省与黑海西部边缘相隔开来，与罗马尼亚和保加利亚北部接壤。1991年，摩尔多瓦从俄罗斯独立出来，现在正式名为摩尔多瓦共和国。波尔多的赤霞珠和梅洛品种已经在摩尔多瓦每个葡萄酒产区中得到了成功的培育，与许多其他地区一样，它们已经成功融入当地文化。在这里，不仅赤霞珠和梅洛，还有勃艮第黑比诺、霞多丽、雷司令以及意大利风格的灰皮诺等品种都被广泛使用。此外，还有更多本土血统，如红葡萄Feteasca Neagra，以及浅色的Feteasca Alba。在新千年之初，摩尔多瓦与俄罗斯关系相对稳定，但2006年，在Transnistria领土上的激烈谈判后，俄罗斯禁止了所有来自摩尔多瓦的葡萄酒进口，以技术分析显示这些葡萄酒含有大量重金属和农药为由。这一禁运对佐治亚州也产生了影响，使其在2005年的贬损性声明后关闭了一些酒庄。虽然受到影响较小，但这对于其主要出口市场关闭造成了损失。不过，在2013年，摩尔多瓦与欧盟签署了一项联盟协议，这促使俄罗斯进一步实施对其商品禁运。但随着销售增长弥补了这一损失，对西欧和中欧市场强劲销售增长给予了补偿。
秋天下的MOldova grapeyards and winemaking are deeply rooted in Moldovan culture: its history, language, and traditions. The country's economy also benefits greatly from wine production. This comes not only from direct sales at home and abroad but also from the wine tourism industry that has surprisingly taken off here.
During the 300 years of Ottoman rule when Islam forbade its production and consumption, Moldova's viticulture came to a halt. However, under Soviet rule (1812-1991), the country's wine culture was fully restored. Since independence, Moldova celebrates National Wine Day on the second weekend of October (after the end of grape harvest) every year.
Moldova is also home to state-owned Milestri Mici winery located south of capital Chișinău which holds a Guinness World Record as world's largest cellar in 2005 with approximately 200 kilometers of dug-out limestone tunnels similar to those found in Champagne near Rome where sparkling wines are produced.
It may come as no surprise that this is a major center for sparkling wine production. Despite being relatively small, Moldova is one of Eastern Europe's most important wine regions. Its climate is extremely suitable for viticulture with archaeological evidence showing this situation has persisted for millions of years.
Fossilized grapevines teutonica can be traced back some 25 million years ago discovered nearby Naslavca village northwestern part of Moldova. Further evidence shows indigenous people began using these grapes to make wine around 3000 BCE BC before Christ Era. Modern-day Moldovan wines are not made from these ancient varieties but rather use European-originated vines like those found in neighboring Romania (Carpathian Mountains rising up to 2400 meters).
While Romania offers more varied landscapes such as Transylvania Alps reaching up to an altitude over 2400meters high above sea level compared to moldovas low rolling hills gradually descending towards Black Sea; moldovas landscape shares greater similarities with Ukraine southern region consisting mainly low-level undulating hills dropping down into Black Sea basin further south than Kishinev hill area where vineyard elevations rise up only about three hundred meters above ground level or so below it - just over two thirds height difference between highest point there & lowest point near Ukrainian border making terrain less mountainous overall than parts close by like Chisinau plain stretching out eastward toward Orheiul Vechi fortress site & valley lying just beyond eastern slope foothills extending far away across vast plains toward river Dniester along northern edge now shared boundary line between Republics - both situated almost side-by-side within borders thus creating interesting contrasted landscape features unique blend mix-up among all three places called "land" by inhabitants residing here right now!
