Château Purcari

Château Purcari is without a doubt the most prestigious winery in Moldova. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Ștefan Vodă region, just a few kilometers from the Black Sea, this historic estate embodies nearly two centuries of winemaking artistry, craftsmanship, and noble tradition. The winery was officially recognized in 1827 and has since grown into an international icon, praised for its refined red, white, and rosé wines that consistently achieve high scores in competitions and professional reviews worldwide.

A Rich History Dating Back to 1827

The roots of Château Purcari reach deep into the 19th century. With a terroir often compared to that of Bordeaux, it was quickly discovered that the local soil and unique microclimate were ideal for producing premium wines. As early as 1878, Purcari achieved international fame when its iconic Negru de Purcari won gold at the World Exhibition in Paris. This historic moment marked the beginning of an impressive series of distinctions that Château Purcari continues to receive to this day.

World-Class Terroir

What sets Château Purcari apart is its exceptional terroir. The proximity to the Black Sea provides cooling breezes, while the sunny, limestone-rich and slightly clayish soils give the grapes their characteristic depth and elegance. These natural conditions form the foundation for wines with a perfect balance of structure, finesse, and aroma.

The winery manages hundreds of hectares of its own vineyards, carefully planted with both international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay, as well as traditional Moldovan grapes like Rara Neagră. This combination of tradition and innovation makes every bottle of Purcari an expression of character and authenticity.
