Origin

Produced in Crete, Greece, a region known for its rich viticultural heritage and Mediterranean climate that favors quality grape cultivation.

Variety

The wine is typically made from indigenous Greek grape varieties native to Crete, often including Kotsifali and Mandilari, which are traditional red grape varieties of the region.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels to develop complexity and balance before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Color: Deep ruby red with garnet hues.
  • Aroma: Aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, complemented by subtle spicy and earthy notes.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish featuring hints of herbs and soft oak.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats and lamb dishes.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Mature cheeses such as aged kefalotyri or graviera.
  • Traditional Mediterranean dishes with herbs and spices.
