Papagiannakos Erythros New_Zealand

Papagiannakos Erythros New_ZealandA lovely introduction to the classic Greek Agiorgitiko (pronounced 'Ah yor YEE te ko' !) grape. Broad, generous aromas of ripe dark fruits and a hint of spice and star anise. The wine has rich bramble fruit characters, finely structured with well integrated French oak, fine tannins, a light savoury note and a blackcurrant pastille twist on the finish. Domaine Papagiannakos was established in 1919 in the heart of the plain of Mesogaia, Attica just 30km
