The merlot grape, traditionally associated with Bordeaux, is now grown in the central Greek region. He has acclimatized very well and is appreciated for his ability to give fruity and supple wines that can be drunk from their youth, making this vintage seductive to the palate. Deep red, it offers an intense bouquet of dried red fruits, spices with nuances of vanilla. His mouth is velvety, round with excellent material. This wine has a perfect balance between its high acidity, its alcohol content and its rich, velvety tannins that contribute to a complex and pleasant mouthfeel.
