Château Purcari, the flagship winery of the Purcari Wineries Group, is Moldova’s most important premium winery. Located in the renowned Ștefan Vodă region in south-east Moldova, it is surrounded by two lakes and 300 hectares of its own vines on rolling hills, washed by fresh, clean air from the nearby Black Sea.

The winery’s history and reputation date back to 1827. Its first global medal at the Paris exhibition in 1878 turned its Negru de Purcari into a Moldovan wine icon. Château Purcari’s efforts to grow local varieties such as Fetească Neagră and Rară Neagră, have helped to rehabilitate these indigenous grapes.
