Description

Château Purcari's Freedom Blend Tribute Edition to Ukraine 2021 is a limited-edition red wine that embodies the unity and resilience of Eastern European nations. This courageous blend combines 60% Bastardo, 35% Saperavi, and 5% Rară Neagră grapes, each indigenous to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova respectively. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, imparting depth and complexity.

The wine presents an intense ruby color and offers a complex bouquet dominated by cherries, blackberries, and currants, complemented by dried plums, red pepper, and savory notes of moist wood and leather. On the palate, it delivers a full and fruity taste that captures elegance and refinement, leading to a velvety aftertaste.

Château Purcari, located in Moldova near the Ukrainian border, has a rich history dating back to 1827. The winery is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation, as exemplified by the Freedom Blend, which was first conceived in 2011 to celebrate 20 years of independence from the Soviet Union.

The 2021 Tribute Edition has garnered several accolades, including a Gold medal at the International Wine Contest in Bucharest, a Silver at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, and a Bronze at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
These honors reflect the wine's exceptional quality and the winery's dedication to excellence.
