LISTEN ON:

Mihnea Olariu is one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the world of Romanian wine, but his family started the wine business almost two centuries ago.

From the interview:
- We continue the work started by Denis Thomas,
- My parents recovered part of the land, but the grapes we sold only financed the following year's campaign,
- The Denis Thomas Heritage range is a tribute to Denis,
- Dealu Mare will become a wine tourism destination, benefiting from both the highway and industry investments.
- To make wine, you need patience. Investments return in more time than in other fields.
