Chisinau, 17 November /MOLDPRES/ - The most influential travel portal in the US and around the world, Travel and Leisure, included Moldova in New Wine Regions to Watch.

The Purcari and Bostavan Wineries' press service reported that Moldova was on the same position as Michigan (USA), Swartland (South Africa) and Tasmania (Australia).

Of the Moldovan wines, wine specialist Bruce Schoenfeld, chose the 2008 Negru de Purcari, saying "A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and regional grapes, the Purcari 2008 Negru de Purcari could pass as an exotic, pricey Napa red, with notes of anise and raspberry jam".

According to the article, Moldovan producers are creating bold wines from international varieties (Merlot, Syrah) as well as indigenous grapes such as Feteasca Neagra (editor's note: Rara Neagra).

Travel and Leisure is considered the most influential travel brand in the world, establishing top destinations, writing about culture, food and lifestyle, with about 4.8 million unique visitors per year.
