Ktima Gerovassiliou Avaton

There is value to be found in native grapes. This blend of Limnio (40%), Mavrotragano (30%), Mavroudi (30%) is delicious, ripe and deeply fruited, with texture and freshness. Additonally,  It helps when it's made by the father of Greek winemaking, Vangelis Gerovassiliou. Whose aim is to produce high-quality wines from grapes cultivated in the privately-owned vineyard which exhibit all the distinctive characteristics of the specific microclimate (terroir) of Epanomi.

Limnio, was mentioned by comic dramatist Aristophanes as "Limnia ampelos" in the 5th century BC (vine from the Greek island Limnos). It is the oldest attested Greek grape variety and predominates in this blend.

Following extraction and completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in special oak tanks from Burgundy, the wine matures in French oak barrels.
It has a brilliant, deep-red colour and a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits (raspberries), raisins, coffee and cacao. On the palate, gentle tannins are supported by an abundance of fruit, creating power and balance. The aftertaste continues with a repetition of the spices. Excellent ageing potential.
