KOKKINOMYLOS 2020 - DOMAINE TSELEPOS

There is absolutely no doubt that Kokkinomylos of the Tselepos Estate is one of the best Greek Merlot wines. A great red wine that demonstrates the unique aging and development potential of this variety. Yiannis Tselepos masterfully signs an exemplary vinification of the classic French variety with particular emphasis on every technical detail, from the vine to the final bottling.

For Kokkinomilos, the grapes were harvested from a vineyard of the same name, at Tegea in mountainous Arcadia, at an altitude of 750 meters. This vineyard has low yields per hectare, but enough to capture the emblematic characteristics of this variety in wine. The late harvest contributed to the ideal ripening and the maximum concentration of the fruit. Its 15-month stay in new French oak barrels imparts complexity and velvety character while emphasizing the typicality of Merlot.

This epic wine is intended for deep aging and it is now especially rare to be able to taste an older year.

If you belong to the category of those who believe that Merlot is the easiest variety to start drinking red wine with... forget it!

In the glass, it has a deep red color. The rich aromatic intensity with red fruits in their ripest form. Strawberry and raspberry jam, in perfect balance with the aromas coming from the barrel, mainly vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, and nuts, while very subtle botanical notes make their appearance.

In the mouth, it is complex and explosive, with a velvety feel. The taste follows the aromas of the nose, while the soft tannins and the balanced acidity create an impeccable and enjoyable result.
