Chateau Purcari Rosu de Purcari 2018

Château Purcari Roșu de Purcari 2018 is a distinguished, elegant, and deeply structured Moldovan red wine crafted as a classic Bordeaux-style blend from hand-picked grapes grown in the micro-zone of Ștefan Vodă. Displaying a dark, intense ruby color with brick-red reflections, it opens with an inviting bouquet of wild blackberries, ripe dark plums, and cassis, intertwined with notes of dark chocolate, sweet vanilla, tobacco leaf, and subtle forest floor spices from its extended aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied, sophisticated, and velvety, offering a rich core of dark fruit supported by smooth, fine-grained tannins and a balanced natural acidity that carries into a long, polished, and warming finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with roasted leg of lamb, grilled ribeye steak, venison, braised beef short ribs, pork tenderloin, and aged hard cheeses.
