Purcari Estate Negru de Purcari Moldova, 75 cl

Every great wine region has an ageable red. In this red blend, Purcari hums a familiar Bordeaux tune in the key of Moldova. In any language, it’s a symphony. Negru de Purcari is a revelation of traditions: mature, rich and full of flavour. This finesseful cuvee is a food-pairing dream, offering notes of forest fruits and plums that develop in time revealing delicate tints of sweet vanilla. The fruit flavour surprises through its refinement, deepness and smoothness, ensuring a long lasting aftertaste.

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.
Full-bodied and with ample if ripe and fine-grained tannins, and some beguiling earthy notes from its bottle age.
Awards: 90 points Wine Enthusiast.
Food Pairing Suggestions: This wine would be perfect with any rustic red meat based dish or full-flavoured cheese.
