Cellar for up to 6 years. Serve well chilled. Set in the south-eastern corner of Moldova just 30km from the Black Sea, Chateau Purcari has long been associated with top quality wines made from both local and international grape varieties. In the 19th century French settlers to the region noticed the climatic similarities between this part of the world and their native Bordeaux, and partnered with the local monastery to start planting French varieties here. In 1827 Purcari was officially established as Bessarabia’s first winery by the Russian Tsar Nicholas I and its wines began to attract global attention by winning gold medals at the Paris World Exhibition in 1878. Today the winery is recognised as one of the region’s finest for its hearty Bordeaux-style reds and elegant whites like this graceful Traminer which was awarded 97 points and a platinum medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020. Grapes for this light and refreshing white are sourced from estate vineyards close to the Black Sea which are harvested by hand. Once in the winery the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromatics and mouthwatering acidity. Hints of jasmine, late bloom roses, peach and lemon define the nose while the first sip offers plenty of freshness and a pure, clean finish. Serve as a refreshing aperitif or an accompaniment for cheeses, summery salads or grilled fish and Mediterranean vegetables.
