Traminer has been cultivated in the southern part of Moldova for centuries, making it the oldest variety. The old, thick vines produce truly exquisite grapes, and Château Purcari is proud of them. In 1827, Emperor Nicholas I of Russia granted the winery the status of Bessarabia's first specialized winery. This achievement brought great success to this beautiful Moldovan winery. This unique wine has become a true star, receiving numerous international wine awards, and we understand why. The climate in which Traminer grows is perfect, even considered exceptional. The excellent sunshine, cool breezes, and rich soil make for a truly unique harvest.
All grapes are harvested by hand to select only the finest bunches. The aroma is very rich and deeply profound; we noted notes of yellow and citrus fruit, a touch of jasmine, and some green herbs. A vigorous swirl of the glass reveals even more aromas, such as grapefruit, lime, and a hint of gooseberry. The palate is smooth and round, extremely soft with fresh citrus notes. The aromatic flavor offers hints of peach, gooseberry, and grapefruit, all perfectly balanced. With its long and balanced finish, it's a gem from Moldova.
