\nWelcome to a brief journey in times of Murfatlar! This is the best place to understand why we take so much pride in our heritage, the lands of Dobrogea and the fine wine we have proudly cherished for generations.\n<\/div>

\nFrom the arid lands of the Dobrogea steppe, a region scorched by the blazing rays of the sun and dried by the unforgiving winter winds, to the hard-to-pronounce names at international wine competitions, it has been a long journey\u2014one that we take immense pride in.\n<\/h1>

\nBut let's start by introducing ourselves.
Where does the name Murfatlar come from?

\nMost likely, the name's origin can be traced back to 'Murilvet,' which means a generous person.

Furthermore, there's 'Muriivetli,' signifying a brave individual with an open heart and superior qualities, in other words, a true humanitarian\n<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nThis name evolved into 'Murfat,' and later into 'Murfatlar,' which means 'the descendants of Murfat\u2019.

But beyond its name, the fame of the Murfatlar vineyard and its wine is the result of the steppe climate, with its intense sunshine that ensures the concentration of sugars in the grape berries, the terraced vineyards carved into limestone by human hands, and the modern facilities that allow the exploration of the finest grape varieties and blends

And there's one more thing, it's the local people's expertise in viticulture, passed down from father to son.\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

\nAnd the fame did not wait long to follow.
Here's a selection of competitions where we participated and emerged as winners: Barcelona (1934), Paris (1936), New York (1937), Ljubljana (1954-1976), Budapest (1958 and 1972), Bratislava (1963 and 1971), Tbilisi (1965), Sofia (1966), Yalta (1970), Brussels (1974).\n<\/h2>

The cultivation of the vine has been the primary occupation of the inhabitants of this region since immemorial times. The people of Murfatlar know they carry a tradition as old as the world itself and take pride in this badge of honor.<\/p>

Scythia Minor, the ancient name for Dobrogea, was renowned for its successful cultivation of the vine on the shores of the Black Sea.<\/p>

Written evidence of the winemaking tradition in Murfatlar was also left by the famous Latin poet Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 B.C - 17 A.D), who lived in the city of Tomis on the Black Sea shore during the years 9-17 A.D.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
