Tasting Notes
Aroma
The blend of the selected varieties offers a fruit-forward nose with aromas of red and black fruit, mostly cherry and plum, with subtle floral and spicy notes in the background.
Appearance
Vibrant ruby red colour.
Palate
Full-bodied, round, and balanced, with a velvety mouthfeel, smooth tannins, and a lingering finish.
Vinification
Each variety is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation follows. The blend is created and stays in contact with the lees in the tanks for up to 4 months while periodical mild stirring (bâtonnage) takes place. After bottling, 2-month cellaring before the wine is released in the market.
Region Notes
The grapes for this blend are carefully hand-harvested from selected vine parcels of collaborating growers in the broader area of Macedonia in Northern Greece. The climate of the region with the notable diurnal temperature variation, as well as the diversity in morphology with the combination of mountains and water bodies (sea, lakes, rivers) form ideal conditions for viticulture.
