We can certainly call it unique, because this white Pinot Grigio from Moldova is fantastic. The winery has a long history, dating back to the 12th century. Even then, wines were being cultivated on the exceptionally fertile soil. In 1827, Emperor Nicholas I of Russia granted the winery the status of the first specialized winery in Bessarabia. This brought a great deal to this wonderful Moldovan winery. They have since received numerous international wine awards, and the quality of their wines continues to improve year after year. Their wines have even graced the tables of, among others, Sarar Nicholas II and King George V of England. Yes, that's quite something.
The vineyard where the Pinot Grigio grapes grow is now mature and is producing a top harvest. The rich climate, with plenty of warmth but also the right amount of coolness, gives the harvest its full potential. The ripening process is therefore long and very balanced, allowing the Pinot Grigio grapes to absorb a lot from the powerful soil. Once the grapes have reached full ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand. Each bunch is inspected to obtain the purest juice. The aroma of this Purcari 1827 Pinot Grigio offers notes of green apple, pear, and a touch of fresh mint leaves. The taste is intensely fruity, with prominent notes of apple, peach, grapefruit, and lime peel. The firm attack creates a warm mouthfeel with refined, soft tannins that make everything very exciting.
