Pinot Noir by 95%. The fine lees of the winemaking process of next year’s Assyrtiko grape complete the rest of the percentage (5%). The wine, after fermentation with the native yeasts from the vine, matures for 24 months in used oak barrels derived from their use in white and rosé wine of the Moschopolis series. It is bottled unfiltered to maintain all its quality characteristics.
Bright and elegant, with elegant sweet fruits on the nose, full of rich and intense berry and red floral notes. Light earthy and metallic notes will gradually appear with aging. Bright red color with light purple highlights. The palate is clean and elegant, bringing cherry fruit with a robust, spicy and mouthwatering tannic structure. It maintains significant concentration and structure to reward a long-term aging.
This is a culinary Pinot Noir that combines wonderfully with duck and other poultry and game and, of course, stewed. It will go well with grilled quail, chicken or pork, but also with fatty fish such as salmon and tuna. Traditional Greek dishes from Macedonian cuisine, including dried fruits such as plum or figs, are also in its range. It is served at room temperature in balloon-style wine glasses, since it is allowed to breathe for at least 20 minutes, ideally in a wine decanter.
