a limited production dry red Mavrodafni wine.
VINEYARD
“Melissa” is a 55 y.o vineyard in south of the island. A place next to the Ionian sea, with zero altitude and clay soil.
VINIFICATION
After destemming and crashing, the grapes ferment in stainless steel vats and remain on the skins for 7 days with repeated mixing, at the end of the period racking in stainless steel by soft pressing.
TASTING NOTES
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby color. Aromas of black fruit and dried fig, with hints of ink, herbs and sweet spices.
On the palate, its medium body harmonizes nicely with balanced acidity and velvety tannins, while the finish offers a long, fruity aftertaste that lingers.
