- This is an intensely flavoured wine with bags of black cherry fruit underlined by dark chocolate and tapenade. It is a luscious blend of three Greek indigenous varietals, where ripe dark fruits combine with notes of raisin, coffee, cacao, and a hint of spice. Perfumed and polished, this smooth, medium-bodied wine delivers sweet and sour notes of black plum, with depth and spice leading to a dry finish.
The Limnio (pronounced LIM-need), Mavrotragano (Mavro- TRAH- gano), and Mavroudi (Mav- ROO- dee) grapes were each fermented in small oak casks of 50 hectolitres. The wine went through malolactic conversion before being aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Winery | At Ktima Gerovassiliou, the single, private vineyard is cultivated with great care and enthusiasm, which leads to constant research and experimentation with Greek and international varieties. New technological advances blend well with tradition throughout the vine growing and vinification processes to produce high-quality wines that carry all the distinct characteristics of the terroir of Epanomi. The climate in the region of Epanomi is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers tempered by sea breezes. The vineyard is surrounded by the sea, which is three kilometres away, while its west side faces the Thermaic Gulf, Mount Olympus and the beaches of Pieria. The vines are grown in soils which are mainly sandy with a few clayey substrates and calcareous rocks. It is rich in sea fossils, as sea deposits form the surrounding hilly area. |
