Red Wines

You'll feel extremely lucky, if you taste it even once!The Unique Mavrostyfo 2019 Papargyriou Winery has a deep purple color in the glass. Impressive nose, with ripe and juicy aromas of sour cherry, redcurrant, cherry, and bilberry, framed by subtle, floral hints of violet and lavender. Vanilla, cinnamon, green pepper, and nutmeg meet notes of forest floor, tobacco, and leather that appear gradually and create a unique multi-dimensional character.

A fresh and unoaked red wine from the island of Crete. Made from indigenous grapes with flavors of cherry and cranberry and mild tannins. Best enjoyed lightly chilled alongside falafel or lamb kebabs.

Negroamaro is the pride of Manolis Karavitakis and a personal bet that has been long since won. When everyone planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in Greece, Karavitakis planted Negroamaro and Sangiovese. Well, this man was and is, always a pioneer! His studies in Bologna left their mark, so Manolis Karavitakis loved Italian varieties almost as much as Cretan ones. He passed this love on to his son, Nikos, who has recently been at the helm of the winery and has been keeping experimenting with him.

For the supreme expression of elegance, Nikos chose not to load Liatiko with many things but preferred to ferment it in oak barrels of 500 liters and then transfer it to stainless steel tanks where it matured for 6 months. The result has an impressive fruit purity, dressed with discreet sweet, spicy notes and botanical touches! Sublime!

Klima Kotsifali - Mavrotragano by Karavitakis Winery was established as one of the most successful blends of Greek varieties on the market. Nikos Karavitakis decided he wanted to create a unique wine from a unique blend of two Greek varieties.Kotsifali gives generous doses of fruity and intense character and Mavrotragano gives elegance and brio, so their combination unites only the best elements of the two varieties. The blend matures for 11 months in second-use French oak barrels for extra depth and complexity.

Among the best Sangiovese from outside Italy!Sangiovese comes from the privately-owned vineyards of the estate, in Pontikiana of Chania. After great care in the vineyard, and insistence on the perfect phenolic ripeness of the grape, follows careful vinification of the precious juice. Then the wine matures in French oak barrels for about 11 months. Only 20% are new barrels while the rest are of second and third use. The reason for this is because they do not want to overshadow the delicate and aromatic character of this special variety. And if you ask us, they do it perfectly!
