100% Mandelari
Crete, Greece
The rare low-yield Plakoura vineyard is a premier cru slope at 500m. Altitude, with sandy, stony soil. The head-trained pruning in combination with the north-east exposure of the vineyard and plenty of sunshine, ensures that the grapes reach optimum ripeness at the time of harvest. Very thorough cultivation helps us achieve extremely low yields, succeeding in vinificating a very concentrated wine with a deep red color and an excellent structure, which will age for a long time.
Deep, intense red color. In the nose, rich aromas of ripe cherry and dark fruit, as well as licorice are superbly balanced by the chocolate and vanilla notes provided by its storage in oak. Full and well structured in the mouth, with a lively acidity, noticeable tannins and a long spicy aftertaste.
