Divin Cuza Voda 7 Year Old XO Brandy 500ml

Produced in Moldova, Divin Cuza Vodă 7 Years is a aged grape brandy crafted in honor of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the historic prince who unified the Moldavian and Wallachian principalities. Crafted according to the traditional methods governing Moldovan Divin, this spirit is produced from double-distilled local white wine grape varieties using classical copper pot stills. The distillate is aged for a minimum of 7 years in oak barrels, where it develops its characteristic golden-amber hue, smooth texture, and harmonious oak character. The result is an accessible, well-structured brandy featuring notes of dried orchard fruits, floral nuances, vanilla, and gentle oak spice.

Food Pairing: Fresh and dried fruits (apricots, raisins, figs), light pastries, roasted nuts, mild cheeses, or enjoyed alongside a dark chocolate dessert.

Tasting Notes: Clear, rich golden-amber in appearance with bright copper reflexes, displaying medium body and clean, steady legs on the glass.

Nose: Fresh and inviting, opening with aromas of sweet dried apricot, raisin, and yellow apple, followed by vanilla bean, light honey, and subtle toasted oak wood.

Palate: Smooth, soft, and balanced on the palate, featuring caramelized sugar, sweet grape nectar, and dried fruit upfront before developing into soft oak tannins, gentle baking spice, and subtle floral notes.

Finish: Medium in length, clean, and pleasantly warm with lingering notes of sweet dried fruit, light vanilla, and soft wood spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a tulip glass or cognac snifter following a meal as a classic digestif, or over ice.
