Domaine Gerovassiliou Avaton 2018 Magnum Dry Red Wine 1.5L

Domaine Gerovassiliou Avaton Magnum Dry Red Wine 1.5L

It is produced from the Greek indigenous varieties Limnio, Mavroudi and Mavrotragano. Limnio - referred to by Aristophanes as "Lemnia ampelos" in the 5th century BC - is the oldest Greek variety and dominates wine.

After extraction and the completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in special Burgundy oak tanks, the wine is aged in French oak barrels.

Bright deep purple color, complex spice bouquet with ripe black fruits (raspberry), raisin, coffee and cocoa. On the palate gentle tannins are supported by plenty of fruit, creating power and balance. The finish is persistent with a repeat of the spices.

It has a long ageing potential (15-20 years) and is served at 16-18 °C.

Tasty combinations: red meat casserole with spicy sauces, hairy hunting.
