This red beauty presents a medium-bodied structure, balancing generosity with elegance. With its lively acidity, it offers a refreshing vibrancy that dances on the palate. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a firm backbone while remaining approachable. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing lush notes of blackcurrant and dark cherries, layered with hints of spice and earthiness that reflect its Mediterranean roots. 

The wine can be paired with slow cooked beef or buffalo meat, as well as dry aged rib eyes or steaks. Decanting the wine will be preferable about an hour before the meal.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Koiniariko aged for 24 months in Balkan oak.

Domaine Nerantzi is a new and exciting organic producer near the border of Macedonia and Thrace in northern Greece. Nerantzi Mitropoulos is an earnest, imposing and gregarious personality whose made it his life’s mission to uncover indigenous varieties lost to the world at large and bring them back to the fore. He believes in a kind of locavore approach to wine making, whether it be the use of long‐lost indigenous varieties, spontaneous yeast fermentation propagated via the native yeasts from their vineyards, or even the use of local, Balkan oak for their cooperage. Their main desire is to have their wines express what is unique to their region and share it with the world. The Mitropoulos family is steeped in agriculture—consequently when Nerantzi began his serious education in wine, his main interest lay in the cultivation of the vines and the plants themselves.
