Grapevine cultivar, climatic variability, and vinification practices are key determinants of wine composition. This study evaluated the physicochemical, phenolic, and elemental profiles of six wines produced from distinct cultivars cultivated in the Murfatlar Research Station (Romania) over three consecutive growing seasons (2022–2025). Red wines were obtained using differentiated maceration regimes, while white wines were produced with controlled lees contact. Total phenolic content was determi
