LOCATION From our private vineyards of the Asites region in the foothills of Psiloritis, 20km southwest of Heraklion, Crete, we use the raw materials to produce this particular wine.

VARIETY SYRAH  - MANDILARI 

VINTAGE Separate vinification for each variety. Classic red vinification with frequent wetting during the extraction of the SYRAH, and less frequent for the MANDILARI. The temperature is relatively low in both vinifications. Aged in barrels of American and French oak for 12 months.

FEATURES : The 12-month aging process in oak barrels creates an exuberant wine with an intense bouquet of aromas, dominated by blackberry and pepper. The wine has a pronounced acidity, with a pleasant long-lasting mouthfeel and long-term aging potential. 

ACCOMPANIMENT DIAMANTOPETRA is the perfect accompaniment for rich yellow cheeses, wild game and relatively rich sauces. Best consumed at 17˚C-18˚C.

AWARDS :

PHILOSOPHY We have married the attributes of  2 varieties to create this wine, in a ratio of SYRAH and MANDILARI. The result is an exquisite wine in which each variety contributes its own unique characteristics. The Cretan MANDILARI lends its intense tanninicity and acidity to the blend and, in harmony with the cosmopolitan SYRAH, it creates a wine that leaves the consumer with the fragrance of the rich Cretan soil, which has emanated unchanged since Minoan times up to the present day.
