  • Best Winery in Moldova, National Office of Vine and Wine, 2020

A deliciously appetising Chardonnay, not from France, but from the ancient vineyards of Moldova. This overlooked wine country has made fine wines for centuries. This is an ultra-modern take on the grape – citrus fruit with zingy freshness.

Moldova is fast putting itself on the world wine map. And for good reason. With more vines per capita than anywhere else in the world, it is a haven for fresh, fruity wines. It sits on the same latitude as Bordeaux and Burgundy which, combined with low hills, strong winds to keep the vines super healthy and flowing rivers, offers the perfect conditions for high quality grapes with an intensity of flavour that’s truly compelling. Our Buyer Kirsten is a Moldovan champion and would certainly recommend this Chardonnay. It bears all the grape’s classic hallmarks: ripe citrus and pear flavours, with a fresh, creamy allure. Perfectly refreshing, this really is a top buy and great value too. Lovely on its own or with chicken or creamy pasta.

"Moldova offers really fresh, fruit laden wines and top value. A great buy for Chardonnay lovers!" Kirsten Willis
