Purcari Rara Neagra De Purcari (75cl, 13%)

A Moldovan red wine from the Ștefan Vodă region, made entirely from the indigenous Rara Neagra grape and aged for six months in French oak barriques. Château Purcari was founded in 1827. The wine is vinified from 100% Rara Neagra, a grape associated with light-to-medium body, silky tannins and naturally high acidity. The nose opens with ripe red cherries, cranberries and sour cherry, with floral violet notes and savory aged leather, garrigue and cured meat. The palate has pomegranate, wild strawberry, plum and hedgerow fruits, medium-high acidity and a subtle chocolate undertone. The finish is medium, velvety, with dried fruit, gentle vanilla and fine-grained tannins.
