Intensively fruit driven nose with aromas of fresh berries and tomato leaves Well balanced, fresh and intense with a vibrant finish

Pairs well grilled meats, cold cuts and cheese. Compliments dishes with spicy sauces.

90 Points - Michael Godel

A more than curious endemic blend conjoins xinomavro with limniona and mavroudi in a most drinkable and accessible Greek red. Easy in most respects, simple as promised and apt as professed. Not a wine of rapture per se but surely one of aperture, whose scented length of the aromatic system determines the flavour angle of a bundle of fruits that come to a focus on the palate plane. The linearity and ultimately a settling make this work quite well and in the most basic of ways. Drink 2022-2024. Tasted March 2022.

A red with crushed stones, plums and sliced lemons that follow through to a medium body, fine tannins and a creamy-textured finish. Not the most complex red, but delicious. Fermented in amphora and barrel. Drink now.
