Vineyard: Naoussa.
Vinification: Typical red wine vinification with a high level of compound extraction, essential for an aged wine. Ageing in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting notes: Deep red colour. Intense complexity with primary aromas of red berries, dried fig, tomato juice. Secondary aromas from intense ageing consist of vanilla, plum, roasted nuts and a taint of cigar box. Full bodied, with pleasant acidity. Very soft tannins provide a soft mouthfeel, rich in density with a long, warm finish with an aftertaste of cocoa and red fruit.
Food pairing: Red meat, game, pasta with creamy sauce, cheese platters.
