Lechinţa is a small village located in [Transylvania](/region/transylvania) and is best known for [Liliac Winery's](/producer/liliac-winery) white wine production. Lechinţa DOC can actually be made up of grapes cultivated across several villages, all located among the gentle foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Viticulture has been a feature of the area for years but like everywhere else in [Romania](/country/romania) the wine scene has seen decades of stagnation. Only now is [Transylvania](/region/transylvania) beginning to rebuild its reputation and Lechinţa will arguably be the first appellation of significance to emerge.
