Nocturne Rară Neagră from Chateau Purcari has an intense and bright ruby colour. Pure and intense aromas of sour red cherry and juicy red currants with a touch of oak spices and black plums. The aromas follow through to the satin textured palate, which reveals fine tannins and a relieving spicy sensation.
100% Rară Neagră. The fruit is grown in estate vineyards close to the Black Sea in Moldova.
Careful hand harvesting of the fruit in the cool of the night to preserve the richness of aromas and intensity of taste intact. Selection by hand as well. The wine is produced using traditional methods, then ages for 6 months in French oak barrique.
Ageing potential: up to 10 years.
Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early
These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
