Recaș

Recaș lies east of Timișoara, where the Banat plain meets low vine-bearing hills. Winegrowing here is recorded in a document of 1447, when Michael of Ciorna, ban of Severin, bought local vineyards from the nobles John and Catherine Magyar for thirty-two gold florins. The transaction shows the value already placed on the vines of this district. The vineyards endured through later changes of rulers and communities, making wine one of the most enduring products associated with Recaș and the surrounding country.
