Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Grilled lamb chops with pistachios and pomegranate seeds
  • Seared duck breasts drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar
  • Pumpkin tortelli with chanterelles, roasted chestnuts, and brown butter

This fantastic Greek find made from the native Mandilaria and Mavrotragano grapes is the perfect dichotomy between masculine and feminine: pretty floral aromas and luscious red raspberry fruit are set against a backdrop of firm, assertive tannins, giving the wine a solid structural backbone.
