Joe Fattorini’s Tasting Note: ““The Queen of England’s favourite wine”. This is the proud boast of Negru de Purcari on account of multiple purchases of the 1990 vintage by Buckingham Palace. She’s not the only one, the Soviet Kremlim loved the dense currant flavours and forest floor complexity. Lovely with mushroom dishes, Barnsley Chops and Pork.”
An intriguing blend of 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Saperavi, the deeply coloured and ancient red grape of Georgia and 10% the native Moldovan Rara Neagra.
The wine is a deep ruby colour with a mix of red and black fruits character together with spice from its three-year sojourn in French oak barrels.
