Chateau Purcari Academia Viorica 2022

Drink it now. No need to decant. The Chateau Purcari winery is famous for both the quality of its wines and its long history. Its vineyards rest in one of the most important areas of Moldova, in the southeast of the national territory about 2 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Here the climate is influenced by the proximity of the Black Sea which is located about 30 kilometers to the south, and mitigates the frosts that come from the north center of the region. This location favors a cold winter climate without reaching the low temperatures found in the rest of Moldova. While summers are wrapped in a dry heat that never reaches high temperatures. The temperature variations, especially in the period July and August, help these grapes to release a beautiful olfactory harmony. The white grape Viorica is the result of the crossing of two red grape varieties: the French Seibel and the Italian Aleatico. The new variety produces wines with bold aromas, balanced by good finesse and elegance
