Dry, Still, Red, Chidiriotiko, Keep for 2-3 years, 12% alc.
Three wines, red, white and orange Methymnaeos, made from just one red variety, the rare Chidiriotiko. Winemaker Yannis Lambrou chooses classic red vinification techiques to produce red Methymnaeos, the most 'conventional' of his three wines. Moderately scented, with earthy minerality and hints of red fruit. Give it time in the glass to open up and unfold its distinct personality.
Moderate color with brick hues. Weak presence of red fruit, earthy notes reminiscent of leather and peppery minerality. Dry texture, as well as freshness combined with volume and tannins give the wine a solid structure. Moderate in length with an interesting aftertaste. A wine giving value to the concept of nativeness. Drink it over the next 2-8 years.
