Cuvee de purcari brut (Chateau Purcari)

Cellar for up to 5 years. Serve chilled. Chateau Purcari is Moldova’s oldest winery with a noble history that dates back to a special decree issued aby Tsar Nicholas I in 1827. Although during the years of the Soviet Union Moldova was primarily known for producing huge quantities of everyday wines, today Chateau Purcari has developed a reputation for excellence and unbeatable value for money. Purcari is located in the southeastern corner of Moldova where conditions are ideal for premium winemaking. The terroir here is actually reminiscent of terroir, since it sits at the same latitude and has similar rubidium-rich soils. The nearby Black Sea also works in its favour, helping to cool the vines during the summer and lock in plenty of aromatics and freshness. This stunning sparkling wine is made from two of the classic varieties used to make Champagne, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as some Pinot Blanc. The wine spends an extended period maturing on the lees which helps to add enticing hints of spice and toast to the bright citrus and orchard fruit notes. The delicate bubbles and mouthwatering freshness make this a great option to serve to guests as an unusual aperitif or to pair with fresh seafood, sushi, salads, or spicy Asian dishes.
