Origin

Produced in Greece by Moraitis Winery, located in the region of Thessaly, known for its favorable climate and terroir for quality red wine production.

Variety

Meltemi Red is typically a blend of indigenous Greek grape varieties, often including Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro, which are renowned for their rich color and balanced tannins.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve aromatic complexity. The wine is aged in oak barrels to enhance structure and flavor depth before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with violet hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, complemented by subtle spicy and vanilla notes from oak aging.
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish featuring hints of dark berries and spice.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Mature cheeses like aged Gouda or Manchego.
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
