Description

Deep ruby colour and a nose smelling of small-berry black forest fruits, sweet spices, balsamic notes and earthy, graphite elements. Medium volume, with good acidity, that leaves room for the aromas of sour cherry, framboise and strawberry sorbet to shine, with several sweet spices and sweet and silky tannins making their appearance.

The aftertaste is remarkable, warm from the alcohol and with chocolate and coffee elements.

The vineyard is located at an altitude of 200m at the foot of Mount Symvolo. A 200-year-old plane tree, dominates the edge of the vineyard so the vineyard is called “PLATANOS” (Greek for plane-tree). Planted in 2001, the sandy loam soil is relatively poor with yields of 1000kg per acre and the climate of the area is highly influenced by winds from the mountain during the nights and sufficient humidity during the day from the sea which is only 2 km away

Classic red wine vinification. During this process the grape skins remain in contact with the must for 15 days in order to achieve the extraction of the aromatic and coloring chemical compounds and to complete the alcoholic fermentation. After the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation follows to soften the taste. The wine matures for 24 months in oak barrels of multiple uses in order to achieve micro-oxygenation aging
