Purcari Wineries acquires Romanian winery in Vrancea

Business Forum
Purcari Wineries has announced that its Romanian subsidiary Crama Ceptura has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of CaraprodVin, a wine producer located in Vârstecoiu Commune, Vrancea County.

The transaction is subject to the fulfilment of standard legal and regulatory requirements. Closing is expected to occur following completion of all applicable procedures.

The acquisition encompasses the primary vinification platform and wine production facilities as well as 33.18 hectares of vineyards within the Vrancea wine region.

Vrancea is Romania's largest grape-producing wine region, known for its white grape varieties and terroir. This acquisition marks Crama Ceptura's first presence in the region, securing direct access to local grape supply and complementing the Group's recent expansion in Dealu Mare. These steps reflect an effort to build a diversified, vertically integrated Romanian wine platform, anchored in two of the country's most important appellations.

Purcari Wineries intends to invest in the acquired facilities to develop a modern primary vinification platform, strengthening quality control from vineyard to cellar. "Vrancea is recognised as one of Romania's most important grape-growing regions, particularly for its white grape varieties and the character they express," said Victor Bostan, Founder and CEO Purcari Wineries. "Through this acquisition, we intend to invest in the local platform, build the right infrastructure for primary vinification, and grow alongside the region. Over time, we aim to become an important player in Vrancea and a trusted long-term partner for local grape growers."
