This little lady just made her way into our glasses and yes, she is exactly what she says. Mikri Evgeniki means young and polite. Playful mood, disarming youth and unique manners make Mikri Evgeniki by Efrosini Winery one of the best wines to welcome this Spring.
Liatiko is a special variety. If you do not know it, we will tell you that Liatiko means July’s grape and this is because it is maturing late July. It is rarely vinified on its own because it is very demanding and requires special mastery. Known for the sweet wines produced by it, we find it dry in extremely rare cases. But if someone dares and succeeds, it rewards him with fine tanin wines and an impressive mature fruit character.
The Mikri Evgeniki Liatiko of the Efrosini Winery is one of these rare single varietal Liatikos. The scruffy variety is grown in Kerasia Heraklion in a place that looks ideal, since the Minoan wine-presses carved in the rock give the best evidence of the region's relationship with wine.
The approach is totally abstract. It has not been in contact with barrel since the aim of the Kosmadakis family was to let the special character of the variety shine and it did it in the best way. You should see our smiles when the botilia.gr team tried it for the first time!
However, if you expect something simple and indifferent, prepare for great surprises. The Mikri Evgeniki of the Efrosini Winery has an impressive structure and complexity. And not just for a young wine.
