Château Purcari Freedom Blend 2021
Château Purcari Freedom Blend is not an ordinary wine – it is a symbol of unity and a tribute to the resilience of three proud nations: Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. This special cuvée reflects their shared desire for freedom and mutual solidarity. The blend is carefully crafted from three characterful grape varieties: Saperavi (65%) from the sun-drenched vineyards of Georgia, Rară Neagră (20%) grown in Moldova's rich terroir, and Bastardo (15%) from the brave heart of Ukraine. Each of these grapes brings its own story and personality to the whole – strength, finesse, and spirit – resulting in a wine of depth and meaning. Before it reaches the bottle, the wine is given time to evolve. A six-month maturation in oak barrels lends it not only structure, but also a refined balance between fruitiness, spiciness, and a velvety finish. The result is a wine that embodies craftsmanship – and tastes of hope and unity. With every sip, you taste the soul of three nations – powerful, elegant, and free.
Château Purcari Freedom Blend is a wine that immediately impresses with its deep, ruby-red hue – a prelude to a rich and layered tasting experience. This blend embodies character and finesse, effortlessly uniting power and elegance. Upon opening, vibrant aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries, cranberries, and redcurrants are released. These fresh scent notes set the tone for what’s to come: a wine full of depth and complexity. On the palate, a warm profile unfolds with flavors of blueberries, dried plums, and a subtle spiciness reminiscent of clove and dark chocolate. The taste is balanced and refined, offering a harmony of sweet undertones and savory nuances that lead to a layered finish. Thanks to its distinctive character, this wine is an excellent companion at the table. It pairs particularly well with grilled red meats, hearty stews, or mature, strong cheeses. It also shines effortlessly alongside desserts featuring dark chocolate. To fully express its aromatic richness, it is recommended to serve the wine slightly chilled, at a temperature between 18 and 20°C. This allows the wine’s rich structure to shine, turning every sip into a true experience.
Moldova's wine culture has ancient roots and has been an essential part of the cultural and economic landscape of Southeastern Europe since the 12th century. Thanks to its favorable climate and fertile soil, the country is particularly well-suited for viticulture, with certain regions standing out for their exceptional terroir. One such remarkable wine region is the village of Purcari, located in the southeast of the country. In this area—also home to the historic Agon Zograf Monastery and its vineyards—natural wealth and human dedication come together. Over time, the region has attracted not only local craftsmen but also wine experts from France, who noted similarities with the world-renowned Bordeaux region in terms of soil structure and climate conditions. The vineyards surrounding Purcari and Agon Zograf are steeped in tradition. Generations of winemakers have honed their craft here, passing down ancient knowledge while enriching it with modern insights. The location of the vineyards and the nutrient-rich soil contribute to the production of high-quality grapes, which in turn form the foundation for elegant and expressive wines. What makes this region truly special is the harmonious blend of heritage and progress. Winemakers in this part of Moldova manage to preserve traditional methods while also embracing technological innovation. This approach has helped Moldovan wines—especially those from Purcari and the Agon Zograf Monastery—gain increasing recognition on international stages. Moldova’s reputation as a wine-producing country is growing, and it is precisely places like Purcari that embody the spirit of this development: rooted in the past, focused on the future.
