Kpo says: What an aromatic and elegant white wine! Irresistible style! |
Traminer is the common Eastern European green-skinned varient of the pink-skinned Gewurtztraimer, it is also known as Savagnin Blanc (an ancient grape). While more subtle than Gewurtztraminer, it is higher in acidity and without the bitterness of its phenolics. Grapes for this light and refreshing white wine are sourced from estate vineyards close to the Black Sea, which are harvested by hand. Once in the winery the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromatics and mouthwatering acidity.

Producer
Set in the south-eastern corner of Moldova just 30km from the Black Sea, Chateau Purcari has long been associated with top quality wines made from both local and international grape varieties.
In 1827 Purcari was officially established as Bessarabia’s first winery by the Russian Tsar Nicholas I and its wines began to attract global attention by winning gold medals at the Paris World Exhibition in 1878. Today the winery is recognised as one of the region’s finest for its hearty reds and elegant whites.
