Dry, Still, Red, Syrah, Kotsifali, Ages well, 13,5% alc.
Intense deep red color with purple hues, herbal nose with aromas of blackcurrant and plum, with hints of cinnamon and spice, thick mouth with nice acidity and finish barrel. Wine with a spicy aftertaste, relatively small, and with a sense of ripe fruit.
A very good wine where Syrah and Kotsyfali - a combination that we see very often in Crete-winemakers give their best and complement each other in a fun and interesting blend. Kotsifali expanding its range of dishes that combine the Syrah, while the latter gives stability in color, thickness and fullness to the wine.
