| Stunning place I'd love to visit. |
Chateau Purcari Freedom Blend is a dry red wine from Stefan Voda District, Moldova. It is a blend of Bastardo, Saperavi and Rara Neagra with 14.0% abv. You'll like it if you like Malbec or a full-bodied Shiraz.
"Freedom Blend is an expression of the free spirit, a courageous blend, full of character, from three indigenous grape varieties. It has the heart of Georgia, the terroir of Moldova, and the free spirit of Ukraine." I love that! For those of you who don't know, Putin marched into all three countries and took bits for Russia. This is hugely symbolic. I'd forgotten that Moldova uses Cyrillic some of the time.
Moreover, the winery has turned all its space, including luxury accommodation and conference rooms into emergency housing for Ukrainians, making room for many people to shelter. I must buy lots of their wine and visit soon. The vineyard took top honours in 2020 the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Other vineyards are doing the same in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. God bless Ukraine's friends.
