Producer's Notes

Created from the combination of two ancient varieties, the white Monemvasia 60% and the deep red Mandilaria 40%, which flourish under the bright sun and resist the string winds of Paros.


The Mandilaria grape, rich in color, is also known as Amorgiano. It is mainly cultivated on the islands of Paros, Rhodes and Crete. Mandilaria is found in various Appellations of Origin usually with other grapes such as Monenvasia in Paros, Kotsifali in Crete or as a single variety on the island of Rhodes, producing distinctive red wines.


It is a deep red velvety wine with a rich bouquet of wild flowers. Bright ruby colour with vivid garnet reflections. Chocolate - covered black cherry and kirsch flavors with notes of candied plum and vanilla. On the palate it has a rich, smooth and round feel with a peppery aftertaste. Pair with grilled red meat, game and spicy cheese.
