Château Purcari – an emblematic winery from Moldova with a history dating back to 1827, located in the Stefan Vodo region, known for its combination of tradition, modern approach and wines with international recognition.
Varietal composition: Cabernet Sauvignon.
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the southeastern part of Moldova, near the Dniester River. The region is characterized by a temperate continental climate, long sunny summers and calcareous-clay soils, which ensure excellent ripeness and structure of the grapes.
