Fascinating aromatic spectrum, that is characterized by cherry and raspberry, followed by spice elements, licorice and some district notes of tea.
Soft and elegant palate with vibrant acidity and well grained tannins, that seals the sip with balance and character. Some light spices on the finish and a medium to long aftertaste of juicy red cherry.
Overall, it’s a complex wine with elegant features and good aging potential !!!

The name of this wine comes from the river Diagon located in Ilia region of Peloponesse and the Vertzami grape is a rare (difficult to manage but promising) indigenous variety.
This robust wine has deep red color, offering focused blueberry, cherry and sour cherry aromas in a sweet spicy background.
Medium to full bodied with complex flavors of red fruits, rich tannins (a little bit harsh i could say), sharp acidity, leading to a medium to long-lasting sweet and sour finish.
Ideal match for barbecue meat !!

Interesting blend of 42% Gewurztraminer, 32% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Grigio, almost intriguing.
Aromas of white summer fruits combined with floral and herbal notes.
Medium body, fruit forward in a mineral background. It was quite fresh with elements of greenness which ultimately reduced the sense of enjoyment.
