The estate vineyard is situated on steep limestone and clay slopes at an elevation of 550 meters above sea level, where cool mountain breezes ensure prolonged, balanced ripening while maintaining natural freshness. Low vineyard yields and 40-year-old vines give the fruit remarkable concentration and character. Winemaking involves extended cold soaking and maceration for approximately 20 days, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in oak fermenters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was matured for 18 to 20 months in French oak casks—primarily new—adding substantial structure, depth, and sweet oak spice without masking the variety's inherent fruit expression. To preserve its natural complexity and structural purity, it was bottled without fining or filtration. In the glass, it displays a deep red-black color leading into a intense bouquet of dark berries, sweet spices, dried herbs, and floral lift. The palate is rich and full-bodied, featuring layers of plum, blackcurrant, and cherry framed by ripe, sculpted tannins and precise acidity. This exceptional Greek red exhibits superb cellaring potential through 2035 and pairs brilliantly with grilled lamb, game birds, beef stews, or rich aubergine dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Concentrated, complex and spicy\u003cbr\u003eBlackberry, ripe red currant, damson plum, dried thyme, anise, cinnamon and subtle violet notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich, structured and full-bodied\u003cbr\u003ePlum and ripe red berries carried by sculpted, velvet-textured tannins, warm oak spices and vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, fragrant and persistent\u003cbr\u003eLingering dark fruit, black pepper, cedar, olive and refined mineral nuances with a lightly chewy, balanced conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A fresh, focused red, integrating refined, sculpted tannins with a plummy mix of ripe red and black currant and ripe damson plum, plus warm cinnamon and anise accents.
