Description

The Merlot of Kanakaris winery is a red wine, created with a certain perspective. An intensely fruity red wine, highly typical, without the slightest presence of barrel, velvety in the mouth, but not heavy with distinct acidity that gives it a special refreshing character. Its origin from the mountainous vineyards of the Slopes of Aigialia gives a rich aromatic expression to the wine and makes the grapes ideal for the creation of a quality fresh and modern red wine.

Winemaking

Careful selection of the grapes for them to arrive at the winery in the ideal state of maturity and hygiene. Harvest in small crates up to 20 pounds. Maceration at low temperature and fermentation at moderate temperature, not exceeding the 20°C. The vinification is based on cold and short-time extractions, which give to the wine its complexity and longevity without excessive astringency.

The skins are separated with gentle pressure and the wine ripens on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks. The four- month micro-oxygenation enriches its velvety flavor and maximizes its delicious and seductive taste. It is bottled under inert gas atmosphere.

Personality

A modern and light red wine full of aromas of small red fruits, herbs and butter caramel. Rich and velvety in the mouth. An ideal companion of roasted meat, cold cuts, medium-hard yellow cheeses, pasta in light red sauces and the “ladera” of the Greek cuisine (stew dishes with vegetables and plenty of olive oil).
