Negru de Purcari is a prestigious dry red wine from Moldova, crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Saperavi, and Rara Neagră grapes. It shows a deep dark ruby colour and offers an intensely aromatic bouquet with ripe dark fruit notes of prunes, figs, pomegranate, and blackcurrant, layered with subtle hints of spice, chocolate, and saffron. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with well-balanced tannins and rich structure. The flavours combine juicy red and black fruit with delicate oak complexity and a long, sensual finish. Negru de Purcari is traditionally aged in French oak barrels, enhancing its elegance and offering depth and finesse typical of wines from the famed Purcari estate.
Negru de Purcari pairs beautifully with rich, full-flavoured dishes. It is an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats such as beef, lamb, and venison, as well as slow-cooked stews and braised dishes. The wine’s depth and tannic structure complement aged hard cheeses and dishes with earthy elements like mushrooms, truffles, or dark sauces. It also pairs well with game, duck, and robust dishes featuring spices or reduced wine sauces.
Works well with medium to hearty beef dishes. Examples: roast beef, steak.
Pairs well with roasted or grilled lamb dishes. Examples: lamb chops, herb-roasted lamb.
