Features
The most iconic wine in modern Greek oenological history. Deep red with a strong personality and vibrant hue. It exudes a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, blackberry, sun-dried tomato, and plum, coexisting with notes of cinnamon, pepper, black olive, and wood. It has a rich body, good balance and structure, very smooth on the palate without any bitterness or astringent tannins. It approaches a more modern style of Naoussa that is easier to drink.
