UNICORN 2022 - MUSES ESTATE

Make room in your wine cellar, cupboard or under your bed for a really big Greek, full-bodied red wine. Unicorn Muses estate has just been released and exclusively here is your chance to secure the first of the very few bottles of this real Unicorn. Trust us, the name is no accident.

The Zacharias family started its history in wine in 1946 with a small winery and a few years later, they saved the rare Greek varietal Mouchtaro from the biggest disaster in the history of wine, the phylloxera. Not only did they revive the variety, but now they have mastered its vinification, which is not the easiest. The variety owes them for saving it and with the Unicorn, they are probably even.

Unicorn Muses Estate is the ultimate result of the family's passion and effort to give a new, literal meaning to the term Greek great wine. It was born from a unique autocratic and over-aged, almost a century old vineyard, in the historic valley of the Muses. The extremely low yield per hectare of the 97-year-old vineyard ensured a shocking concentration in the juice. It takes the fruit of 2 plants for producing just one bottle of Unicorn. The juice was then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months and then bottled in super limited bottles, most of which have already been pre-sold.

Prepare yourself for a red wine of maximum concentration, velvety texture, with the backbone and structure that some of the greatest wines in the world would envy. A wine worthy of your attention and care.

It's absolutely enjoyable now but expect it to evolve wonderfully over the next decade. The decision is yours. If you catch a bottle...

In the glass it has a deep red color with purple highlights that foreshadows many things. Complex aromatic nose, with red and black fruits claiming the first role. Wild berries, sour cherry, strawberry, cherry and gooseberry combine with wet leaves and earthy aromas, while violet, subtle hints of pink pepper and ginger complete the aromatic set.

In the mouth it has impressive structure and concentration, with its well-worked, integrated tannins forming the backbone which is complemented by lively, refreshing acidity. The intense, juicy red fruit is freely expressed in the mouth, with strawberry, cherry and blackcurrant, while colorful pepper and vanilla give it a spicy sensation that remains in its long aftertaste.
