Zafeirakis, Limniona, Tyrnavos

The winery is located on the foothills of Mt. Olympus with clay and flint soils. Limniona was abandoned 60 years ago and they only started making it again in 2008. 100% Limniona aged in various size barrels. Purple color, made slightly transparent by the light. Purple fruit with herbal and spicy notes on the nose verging on floral. The palate is light bodied and low in tannin and acid. Super-easy to drink. Can go with lighter foods like chicken. It …

Very nice wine with great complexity. It will sing in 5 years. Greek burgundy

From the foothills of the Mt. Olympos in the Tyrnavos region of Thessaly, Greece. From limniona grape native to Thessaly. Decanted and now 2.5h later.

Vakhes Wine Fair (Romantso) : Sampled from magnum, 1 year in 600lt, 1200lt, 2tn and 2.6tn oak barrels The wine show clean ripe red fruit with sweet spices. In the palate, the wine shows ripe red fruit, some tannins, nice acidity, its juicy, refreshing, medium body and acidity, medium to long finish. Outstanding quality, one of the best red wines in Greece for me

Deep ruby color; earthy nose of medium (+) intensity reminiscent of a Rhône Syrah. Palate is concentrated with medium length—dark red fruit. High acidity, medium tannin and medium body and medium (-) alcohol. Quality red wine ready to drink but could age.

Grabbed this over a beaujo to drink with grilled chicken legs. Pale/medium ruby. Deep round berrry nose with a nice bitter citrus note and with an earthy spiceyness. Fruit fwd but restrained with juicy acidity. Man, this bottle went down way to quick. Drinking like a young village burgundy. Buy again.
