Variety: Dry red wine · Protected Geographical Indication Slopes of Aigialia

The mountainous Merlot of Kanakaris comes from selected mountainous vineyards from the Slopes of Aigialia, where the wine grapes are ideal for the creation of fresh red wines of Mediterranean style.

The low yield and the northeastern orientation of the vineyards contribute to the optimum concentration of the aroma and flavour compounds, as well as to the creation of intense colour and soft tannins.

It is a fresh red wine, with an extremely fruity character and typical – without aging in oak. In the mouth, it is velvety but not heavy, with discrete acidity that gives a special freshness to its finish.

Its vinification is based on cold and short-timed extractions that give the wine complexity and ageing potential with soft tannins. Additionally, the 4-months- long micro-oxygenation completes its taste prolonging the tasteful relish with its opulent and seductive taste.

The mountainous Merlot of Kanakaris is a modern and light red wine, full of aromas of small red fruits, herbs, and butter caramel. Zesty and velvety in the mouth, it is an ideal companion of roasted meat, cold cuts, medium-hard yellow cheeses and pasta with light red sauces. From the Greek cuisine, it is a perfect match for ‘ladera’, the casserole dishes that are cooked with vegetables in plenty of olive oil.

Enjoy it at 16ºC.
