Red wine Plagies Gerakion 75cl

Mavrokountoura is indeed a captivating grape variety, and Apostolos Moutrichas's work showcases its exceptional potential. The red Plagies Gerakion exemplifies how this rare grape can be transformed into a high-quality wine that beautifully combines complexity and charm.

The wine’s vibrant color, with its purple highlights, immediately draws the eye, setting the stage for a rich sensory experience. The nose bursts with an enticing array of ripe fruits and spices, suggesting a wine crafted with care.

On the palate, the balance between volume and finesse is striking. The subtle inclusion of Syrah adds depth while preserving the identity of Mavrokountoura. The delicate presence of French oak enhances the fruit’s richness without overshadowing it.

As the wine evolves, it transitions from juicy fruit to more intricate notes of honey and roasted nuts, showcasing great depth and aging potential. This is a wine to savor slowly, as it reveals its many layers over time. The red Plagies Gerakion is a shining example of the incredible offerings from Greek terroir, making it a must-try for wine lovers.

The vineyards in the semi-mountainous region of Afrati, near the village of Mytikas in Evia, benefit from a unique climate that enhances the quality of the wines. The influence of Mount Dirfi, soaring to 1,743 meters, is crucial; the cold winds and night dew from the mountain help maintain optimal conditions, promoting vine health and preventing fungal diseases.

Mytikas's proximity to the sea introduces additional humidity and a cool evening climate, creating a microclimate ideal for cultivating delicate grape varieties like Mavrokountoura. The temperature variations between day and night ensure balanced ripening, preserving acidity while developing complex aromas.

This interplay of climatic and geographical factors imparts remarkable typicity and finesse to the wines, making this region a treasure for wine enthusiasts. Each bottle encapsulates the unique characteristics of its terroir, reflecting the richness of Greek wine heritage.
