Short description:
It is said about the people of Şimleu that they have always been "people of the land" with their ancient preoccupations and way of life. Măgura Șimleu has always been the pride of Țara Silvaniei, as evidenced by the archaeological discoveries and treasures in the area.
The ancient geographer Ptolemy himself, in his work "Îndreptar Geografic", mentions the Dacian settlements in this land, probably referring to the ancient fortress Dacidava, part of the state of Burebista and Decebal.
These fragments of the past show us that Măgura was inhabited, and the Dacian ancestors always knew how to live in communion with nature, cultivating vineyards and orchards on the picturesque slopes. The aromatic wines from the Măgura vineyards have come to be appreciated by many, as well as by our vineyard. The wines from the Măgura Silvaniei range want to convey the uniqueness and local charm, but not least, the communion of man with nature.
The winery is located in the Silvaniei Hills, at the foot of the Măgura Șimleului mountain range, in the town of Șimleu Silvaniei. It consists of a complex of galleries, unique in Romania, with a length of 3.5 km, dug into the rock, approximately 60 meters below the hill. These factors create favorable conditions for the maturation of wines, namely a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year, total darkness and protection from tremors.
Looking back at the main moments that marked the winery's historical past, we would like to remember the year 1820, when the excavation of the cellars began. Thus, the first hundred meters of these cellars were dug by a team of Italian stone carvers, in order to preserve and age the wines, produced from grapes harvested from Măgura Șimleului. Following nationalization, the cellars became state property. Since oenology specialists discovered special conditions here for the fermentation of sparkling wine, in 1960 the significant expansion of the cellars began.
“We are grateful to history, to our predecessors and we are proud to carry forward the tradition of Romanian wines.
We invite you to write the story of an award-winning wine with us and to honor life with a glass of Silvania wine!”
