Why do we love it?
Romeo & Juliet red, the absolutely romantic couple hits again causing great emotions! Konstantinos Gofas decided to marry two more unconventional grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Agiorgitiko, and the result is so successful that it makes us wonder how they have not thought about it in Bordeaux!

In the role of Romeo, the robust Cabernet Sauvignon, while Juliet is played by the velvety Agiorgitiko. The grapes come from the privately-owned vineyard of Gofa’s Estate in Koutsi, the most famous "Grand Cru" vineyard in Nemea. The selection of the fruit was extremely rigorous even in a good vintage like 2016. The final blend was 70%-30%, with Cabernet being the dominant variety. The extraction took 20 days and the passionate couple aged for 24 months, in barrique oak barrels. They probably sound a lot but the truth is that Gofas is a real artist in oak handling, achieving the ideal balance between oak and fruit purity. In addition, it is difficult to overshadow such fruit concentration!

The result is a red wine of incredible concentration and complexity, with the two varieties blending harmoniously while the oak aging gives extra points.

Deep purple, opaque color in the glass.

Medium(+) intensity aromas of black cherry, berry, tobacco and animal hints. It needs to take its time but is worth the wait. As you let it breathe in the glass, it unfolds its character and complexity. Notes of allspice, pepper, cinnamon, clove, strawberry jam, chocolate and tea make their appearance gradually.

On the palate is full-bodied, with high but refined tannins and medium acidity. It has intense aromas of cherry jam, raspberry and dried plum. The savory feel of cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg gives a spicy character. Bitter chocolate and espresso hints make it pleasant and long-lasting.
