Worth it for a by-appointment tasting at an author winery in Purcari - varietal wines (Fetească Neagră, Saperavi, Rară Neagră) matured in Moldovan oak, on an estate with history since 1840.
Domeniile Pripa is one of the most distinctive wineries in the Purcari area (Ștefan Vodă district), the author project of Andrei Pripa. It revives a vineyard estate with history going back to 1840 (the first experimental wine was bottled in 2016), on 16 hectares with slopes facing the Nistru, in the IGP «Ștefan Vodă» zone. It works exclusively with estate-grown grapes - Fetească Neagră, Saperavi, Rară Neagră, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Regală - matured only in Moldovan oak barrels, about 20,000 bottles a year. Visits and tastings by appointment.
