Description

This distinctive white wine, made entirely from the unique Viorica grape variety, embodies the innovative spirit of Château Purcari. The Viorica grape, developed in Moldova in 1969 by crossing red varieties Seibel and Aleatico, paradoxically produces a noble white grape celebrated for its individuality. Hand-harvested and vinified in stainless steel without oak influence, the wine preserves its pure, fresh character.

Viorica de Purcari offers a golden hue with amber reflections and a captivating aroma of acacia and basil flowers. On the palate, it is velvety and balanced, with a fine muscatel note complemented by hints of ripe apricot and citrus zest. A subtle touch of honeysuckle adds elegance to its vibrant, fresh profile.

Château Purcari, one of Moldova’s most esteemed wineries, has earned worldwide acclaim, with this wine achieving a Platinum Medal – Best in Show at Decanter 2019, placing it among the top 50 wines in the world. With a Vivino rating of 4.2, ranking in the top 1% globally, Viorica de Purcari is a true jewel in the winery's collection.
