If any winemaker could think that a blend of Limnio, Mavroudi, and Mavrotragano could produce one of the most elegant Greek red wines, it is Vangelis Gerovasileiou. The result more than justified him. Avaton is a wine that will impress beginners and win over the connoisseurs. A top-notch red wine, resulting from three relatively unknown Greek varieties with a rich history and even greater potential.

Producer's Description: Produced from the indigenous Greek varieties Limnio, Mavroudi, and Mavrotragano. Limnio - which is referred to by Aristotle as 'Limnian vine' - is the oldest Greek variety.After extraction and the completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in special Burgundy-style wooden tanks, the wine ages for approximately 12 to 18 months in new French oak barrels. It has a brilliant deep purple color, a complex bouquet of spices with ripe black fruits (raspberry), raisin, coffee, and cocoa.On the palate, elegant tannins are supported by abundant fruit, creating power and balance. Its finish is persistent with a repetition of spices. It shows great aging potential (15-20 years) and is served at 16-18 °C.Food pairings: red meat stews with spicy sauces, game.
