After a short cold—soak, a slow fermentation takes place. Aging takes place in old barrels, concrete and stainless steel tanks. After 9 months on its fine lees, the wine is ready for blending and bottling. No new oak is used in order to preserve the purity of the fruit. Tasting notes: This beautiful summer red has an intensively fruit—driven nose with aromas of cherry, fresh berries and a hint of tomato leaves. The palate is well balanced, smooth and fruity, where Xinomavro gives freshness and intensity & shows good vibrancy on the finish. Food Matching: Perfectly served with grilled meats, cold cuts and cheese.
