VIORICA DE PURCARI 2022

Product Information:

The Viorica grape variety is a variety with individuality: it appeared in Mol- dova in 1969, following a successful winemaking experiment. „The Parents“ of Viorica are two red grape varieties – Seibel and Aleatico. Paradoxically the result of crossing was a white grape variety. Certainly, Viorica de Purcari is a noble class jewel.

Wine Tasting:

Viorica wine is made entirely from Viorica grapes, harvested manually and vinified by the traditional method. The white wine Viorica de Purcari is a sensory explosion: it has the aroma of acacia and basil flowers, it is fresh, easy and memorable. The golden color, with bright amber shades, is complemented wonderfully with its balanced and velvety taste and the fine taste of muscatel. Viorica conquers through its complex aroma and subtle finesse.

Recommended serving temperature: +10…+12°C.
