Wine Maker’s Notes

Grapes are harvested in August from our vineyard “Stassi” in Akrotiri. The soil is of volcanic origin, sandy and calcareous. 

Vinification and aging: picking of over matured grapes, then sun-dried for 10-12 days.Common alcoholic fermentation of all three grape varieties. Aging lasts two years and it is undergone in 220 litres barriques of French oak 

Tasting: black, almost opaque in color. It delivers aromas of sour cherries, currants, blueberries, followed by cinnamon and cloves. It is very rich, mouth-filling and shows flavors of honey…sweet and peppery spice, plus some mild and buttery nuts. Very good acidity, it contributes much to a balance in the mouth. Very long, sweet and spicy aftertaste.

Pair it with: dried nuts, duck foie-gras, aged hard cheeses, cherry fruit cakes, fruit tarts, black chocolate, Black Forest. Best served at 8-10 °C.

Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.

Important notes:

-It is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
