Origin

NOSTOS BLEND RED is produced in Greece, a country with a rich winemaking tradition that combines ancient techniques with modern viticulture.

This red blend typically combines indigenous Greek grape varieties with international varietals to create a balanced and complex wine. Specific grape varieties used in NOSTOS BLEND RED include:

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. The winemaking process involves controlled fermentation at regulated temperatures to preserve the wine’s aromatic profile. The blend is aged in oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure before bottling.
