Château Purcari 1827 Rară Neagră – Saperavi 2023

Château Purcari 1827 Rară Neagră Saperavi is a wine that beautifully reflects the rich character and centuries-old traditions of Moldova’s Purcari estate. Hailing from the sun-drenched Ștefan Vodă region—where the proximity of the Black Sea creates a unique, harmonious microclimate—this red wine embodies the finesse and depth for which the historic estate is celebrated worldwide. This refined cuvée is crafted from two exceptional grape varieties. Rară Neagră (51%), a noble indigenous variety, contributes softness, freshness, and elegant red fruit aromas. Saperavi (49%), the powerful Georgian grape, provides structure, intensity, and a deep, alluring color. Both grape varieties are hand-harvested, ensuring that only the finest, fully ripe clusters make their way to the cellar.

In the winery, traditional craftsmanship and modern precision come together seamlessly. The grapes are carefully selected and fermented under controlled temperatures to preserve their natural elegance and aromatic purity. The result is a perfectly balanced wine with 13% alcohol, distinguished by its refinement, depth, and character.

A wine that not only reflects its terroir but also turns every glass into a memorable experience. Order now and discover it for yourself.
