Purcari 1827 Viorica–Muscat Ottonel 2024 — Moldova 🇲🇩

Overview
A vibrant aromatic white blend of 60% Viorica · 40% Muscat Ottonel that delivers lifted florals, bright freshness, and effortless drinkability.

Expressive yet clean, this wine balances aromatic charm with refreshing structure, making it an ideal casual staple and highly food-friendly pour.

Aromas & Flavors
White flowers, jasmine, acacia blossom, fresh basil, ripe pear, citrus peel, subtle tropical fruit, and soft rose petal. Bright and fragrant without becoming heavy or cloying.

Mouthfeel

🍷 Personal Pick

That's interesting and fun. I will chase this specific bottling as Purcari wines are usually very available in my neck of the woods.
