{"title":"Purcari","description":"\u003ch1\u003e Buy or order Purcari wine\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n \nThe home of Purcari wines is located in Moldova. You read that right. Perfect wines don't often spring to mind when you think of this former Soviet state. However, Purcari wines have an impressive history. Since their founding in 1827, they have achieved many milestones. For example, in the mid-18th century, their wines graced the table of Tsar Nicholas II, and the British Royal Court was also smitten with Purcari wines. The crowning achievement came in 1878, when Purcari wines took first place at the World's Fair. Many prominent wineries missed out when Purcari took home the gold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Wines from Moldova\u003c\/h2\u003e \nMoldovan viticulture originated as early as the 14th century, when Moldova was still a kingdom. Moldovan viticulture flourished in the 19th century, when Purcari founded the winery. Moldovan viticulture had great potential, but the Soviet Union threw a wrench in the works. The economy became communist, and business operations were hampered. This also led to the collapse of Moldovan viticulture. Fortunately, better times are now dawning, and Moldova has been steadily growing as a wine-producing nation over the past twenty years.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The vineyards of Purcari\u003c\/h2\u003e \nAlthough wine is grown throughout Moldova (over 10% of the land area is vineyards), the finest quality wines are produced in the southeast. This is partly due to the influence of the Black Sea, which provides the necessary cooling for the vineyards. The Purcari vineyards are located around the village of the same name in the Stefan Voda region. These are the most beautiful locations for the vineyards, a fact clearly reflected in the sublime quality of Purcari wines.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e A great Purcari wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Purcari wines are leading the way in Moldavian wine. Since 1827, they've been crafting the finest wines. Purcari Traminer, for example, is a true crowd-pleaser. This beloved grape is rarely grown in Europe, but it truly shines in Moldavian vineyards. Purcari also offers a superb IceWine. This is undoubtedly the finest dessert wine from Moldova. A sensual pleasure, where every sip is a celebration.","products":[{"product_id":"purcari-1827-chardonnay","title":"Purcari 1827 Chardonnay","description":"This beautiful winery in Moldova boasts a long winemaking history, having been producing wines in Moldova since the 12th century.
