Alb de Purcari Chardonnay Blend 2019

Citrusy nose, with some flinty notes, some flowery touches and a bit of vanilla and oak. Great stuff. The palate is very well made with a strong acid drive, a good width with lemon and lemon peel, some soft and nice mouthfeel before a long lemony and vanilla touches that last for a good while. It's a great white! — 2 years ago

Wax and gunpowder dominate the nose. Refreshingly high acidity, light bodied, with mostly lemon and a relatively long, salty finish. Interesting texture that kind of tickles the tounge, not an overly long maceration, perhaps. — 3 years ago

Nach Red Blend 2020

🏅 Rating 88+/100 (3,85⭐)

Effortless drinking unpretentious red for anyone. Sold in minimagnums (1L) at a bargain price (€16). Purple colour, medium-light body. Cool blend of Pinot Noir, Blaufrankisch, and aromatic St.Laurent. Might become your favourite table wine.

Freedom Blend Bastardo Blend 2020

My first wine I’ve ever tasted from Moldova. Jancis Robinson reviewed it in Financial Times January 27 2023. Tasting and decanting now… purple, very good clarity. Aromas of leather (wood) and strawberry, flavors of strawberry and cherry with wood, light to moderate seed and skin tannins on finish. Light bodied but solid tannin structure. Needs at least 60 minutes to decant. 24 hours later, tasting really well, some real character. A worthy red table wine — 2 years ago

Okr Chardonnay Blend

🏅 Rating 90/100 (4,0⭐)

Highly drinkable beautifully balanced orange wine. Exactly the way we like it. All-star blend of Chardonnay, Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon and a little bit of Traminer. Well structured with gastronomic appeal. Comes in cute minimagnums (1L)

Can't think of a better amber wine for the induction into the category.

Běl Grüner Veltliner Blend

Really tasty, some skin contact going on for sure with a little bit of funk. Herbal (fennel) and spice notes, wet stone, tropical fruit. Bright acidity that lingers. — 2 years ago

9.0

Moldovan wine and it was terrific. Bordeaux blend, Old World textbook Left Bank, not showing much signs of age, still inky & fruit forward. Nicely balanced on mid-palate, generous & elegant through finish. — 2 years ago

Nice one. Jancis Robinson just had an interesting piece in the Financial Times on Moldova. Purcari figured prominently. Interesting developments afoot…
