Château Purcari Academia Viorica 2021 is an orange wine made from the Viorica variety, produced by skin maceration of white grapes, which gives it a more pronounced structure and complexity than classic white wines. The nose is dominated by citrus, bergamot, apricot, candied fruit, and jasmine floral notes, with subtle spicy and floral tones. On the palate it is dry, aromatic, and layered, with a gentle tannic structure and a long, elegant finish. Vinification includes fermentation and partial ageing in amphorae or oak, further enhancing the wine’s texture and depth. Ideal with light dishes, salads, fish, and as an aperitif.
