The winemaker selected the very best and most expressive blocks at Ktima Kir-Yianni in Naoussa, blending red varieties that were on the one hand ideally adapted to the vineyard conditions with a proven track produce record of top-notch wines (Syrah and Merlot) with those from a “nursery” of experimentation with outstanding potential, planted in 2005. Common characteristics to all, are their top-quality features such as acidity, alcoholic degree, phenolic ripeness, intensity of aroma, and color.
Deep ruby color with purple hues. Intense nose of black fruits, vanilla, and notes of black pepper, further enhanced by those of caramel and nuts. The mouth is full of sour cherries, plums, and gooseberries, on a background of chocolate and cinnamon. Structured with a velvety tannic texture in harmonious balance with the vibrant acidity. Long, luscious finish with sweet spices, and notes of tobacco and oak. Complex, rich, and layered wine.
Intense, and robust, with warm alcohol and dense texture, Ble Alepou is a wine destined for bold food pairings, either with dishes of classic French cuisine or dishes with a more creative twist.
