Tasting Notes:Liatiko is the most widely planted red variety in Crete. This is a benchmark example. Light brick red colour, nice ripe savoury spice aromas. The palate is full of lovely dark cherry, plum and mace-like spice. Lovely crisp acidity and soft tannins from the mix of large oak puncheons and small barriques. Can be served lightly chilled. Try it with moussaka or grilled lamb.
Winemaking: Classic red vinification. The alcoholic fermentation lasts for 3 days at 20°C and then continues at 20°C, in stainless steel tanks. 50% being matured for up to 8 months in large French oak barrels and the remainder matured in 225 litre used barrels.
