The 1827 Viorica de Purcari from Château Purcari is a distinctive expression of the indigenous Moldovan grape variety Viorica, known for its naturally aromatic profile. Sourced from the Ștefan Vodă region, where proximity to the Black Sea helps preserve freshness, this dry white wine reflects both terroir and tradition.

It belongs to the “1827” range, named after the founding year of the winery, highlighting its historical legacy. In the glass, it shows a bright golden color with subtle amber hints.

The nose is intensely floral, dominated by acacia and basil, layered with notes of apricot, citrus, and a touch of honey. On the palate, it is well-balanced, combining lively acidity with a smooth, rounded texture.

The flavor profile mirrors the aromatics, with added citrus zest and a slight herbal spice on the finish, giving it a refreshing and elegant character. This wine is best enjoyed young, served chilled, and pairs well with fish, white meats, lightly spiced dishes, and soft cheeses, making it a versatile and authentic representation of Moldova’s modern white wine style.
