Insight
Get to know the wine
Vinohora Rara Neagra & Malbec is born from vineyards of 15-20 years on clay-sandy chernozem in the classic area of Stefan Voda. Rara Neagra is a native Moldovan grape variety that is almost extinct, produced in very limited quantities, lending the wine freshness, acidic tension and a peculiar fruity profile.
Malbec adds body, roundness and spicy notes. Manual harvest into crates, fermentation in steel at controlled temperature, maturation 6 months in French oak barriques, then a minimum of 6 months in bottle. Vinohora's label is each year an artistic work dedicated to Moldovan cultural and historical themes — a collector's object as well as a wine of great character.
Rara Neagra was the grape of the medieval Moldovan princes: Chateau Purcari guards one of the last reserves of it in the world.
Sommelier's note
“"Inviting garnet red, not excessively dense. On the nose dried fruit and vanilla blend with evocative notes of cherry, black plum and chocolate. The full, fruity taste surprises with elegance and refinement — Rara Neagra brings tension and fresh acidity, Malbec adds roundness and spice. A wine of unique character, impossible to reproduce elsewhere."”
