At the 1878 World's Fair, the Moldovan Château Purcari, to the astonishment of French winegrowers, beat all the great Burgundies and Bordeaux in a blind tasting in Paris. By the end of the nineteenth century it was one of the most famous wines in the world. A few years ago the château was completely renovated, its vineyards fully restored and production modernized.
By the end of the nineteenth century, wines from the legendary Purcari winery graced the tables of Tsar Nicholas II and King George V of England. Negru de Purcari was Queen Victoria's favorite wine. Exclusive Purcari was also a welcome guest at the finer Dutch dinner tables of the time.
Purcari is made in the vineyards surrounding the village of the same name in the southeastern tip of Moldova, right at the point where Moldova, Ukraine and Transnistria meet - although the latter doesn't officially exist.
Since the start of this century, a glorious tradition has been restored to honor on the Purcari estate. Encouraged by international wine companies, the most modern technologies have been introduced and the monumental château has been fully renovated. Today it is an elegant castle with modern facilities - guests can visit the wine cellars and even stay overnight in the château.
A French winemaker was brought in at the end of the last century to restore the wine's quality to its former illustrious level. About eight years ago he was replaced by an Italian winemaker, and the style of Purcari's wines has since changed somewhat - it has become more modern and international. The range has been expanded with more different types of wine, and marketing has been brought up to an international level. As early as April 2006, international awards were won again, and many more have followed since. The centuries-old Purcari winery is widely regarded as Moldova's finest. We currently have six wines from Château Purcari in our range. You can view all our wines from Château Purcari here.
