Castel Mimi, the promoter of wines made from native grape varieties, launched a campaign on September 25th, encouraging wine consumers in the Republic of Moldova and the diaspora to choose wines produced from native grape varieties such as "Feteasca Albă," "Feteasca Neagră," "Feteasca Regală," and "Rara Neagră."

Our aim is for our local grape varieties to be discovered and appreciated at both national and international levels, and for Moldova to be recognized as a producer of quality wines. We are delighted that some winemakers and colleagues in the industry have embraced our initiative and are also promoting wines made from native grape varieties.

We are proud that our message has been appreciated and promoted by public figures in our country. Artists, actors, and athletes have supported us and continue to do so, not only to promote our native wines but also our national brand.



Actors Andrei Porubin and Dumitru Roman have posted videos in which they discuss the history and native grape wines, even those consumed by the historical figure Stephen the Great. Musicians Constantin Moscovici, Cornelia Ştefăneţ, and Doina Sulac have encouraged their thousands of followers to follow their lead and choose wines made from native grape varieties for family events. Moldovan athlete Ion Lazarenco, who became the eighth person in the world to successfully swim across seven straits and was nominated as the Republic of Moldova's candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, recorded a video in which he mentioned that he always celebrates success with a glass of wine from native grape varieties and proudly carries the flag of the Republic of Moldova wherever he goes.

We would like to express our gratitude for their involvement in promoting the campaign launched by Castel Mimi.

The wines made from native grape varieties by Castel Mimi have been praised by the renowned taster Mihai Druţă, the President of the Sommelier Association in our country. He tasted the five different grape variety and blend wines in his segment "A Good Wine with Mihai Druţă," highlighted the characteristics of each bottle, and provided recommendations for gastronomic pairings.



"I encourage you to discover native grape varieties because they have great potential for winemaking in the Republic of Moldova. Native grape varieties could promote us abroad and amaze those interested in discovering our culture and our country. Be proud of them!" mentioned Mihai Druţă.

We thank all the consumers who have responded to our call and chosen wines from native grape varieties for parties and family events.

Castel Mimi will continue to be the promoter of wines made from native grape varieties and will showcase them at international competitions and exhibitions because we take pride in the centuries-old history of our local grapes and wines.
