Château Purcari - A Symbol of Moldovan Winemaking Heritage
Established in 1827, Château Purcari is a symbol of Moldova's winemaking history and royal heritage. The "1827 Collection," produced in the renowned Stefan Voda region, honors the estate's founding year, delivering exceptional wines filled with elegance, history, and pure passion.

Rara Neagra (meaning "rare black") is an ancient indigenous grape variety cultivated by the Dacians since the 5th century BC. It is renowned for bringing vibrant acidity and aromas of fresh strawberries and cherries to the glass, and is currently enjoying immense popularity. In this exquisite blend, it is wonderfully complemented by the deeply colored and robust Saperavi grape.

This velvety, medium-bodied red wine is incredibly versatile and food-friendly, harmonizing beautifully with flavorful meat dishes and rich roasts. Our recommended pairings for this wine:

• ■ Juicy Pork Steak – The wine's vibrant, juicy acidity cleanses the palate from the pork's fat, while the red berry notes enhance the flavor of the crisply seared surface.
• ■ Classic Veal Cutlet – Rara Neagra's delicate and smooth tannins seamlessly blend with the tender, mild flavors of high-quality veal.
• ■ Grilled Vegetables and Meat – The subtle hints of French oak, vanilla, and spices in the wine beautifully resonate with the rustic, smoky, and savory flavors of freshly grilled dishes.

Serving Temperature: 18℃〜20℃ (Enjoy at this temperature to bring out its full richness.)

Stefan Voda

Gentle breezes and the moderating effect of the nearby Black Sea allow these indigenous varieties to ripen slowly, developing deeply complex fruit aromas while maintaining vibrant, juicy acidity.
