Do you know what you’ll be doing in 2027? You probably don’t. But we know one thing for sure: In two years, we’ll be holding one of the very few Le Roi des Montagnes Syrah 2017 from Papargyriou Winery in one hand—and a corkscrew in the other!
Yiannis Papargyriou has repeatedly proven that he knows how to handle Syrah and push it to its limits. Overripe harvest, marked alcohol levels, and a uniquely generous, full‑bodied character.
The French variety is cultivated at an altitude of 850m in the area of Sofiano, Corinthia and by delaying harvest, the grapes are collected overripe resulting to staggering concentration of their almost wrinkled berries and a particularly high alcohol volume (15%), which impresses with its surprisingly balanced integration throughout the palate. It remained in oak barrels for 18 months and rested in the bottle for a few more.
Yiannis Papargyriou made sure to hold back a few bottles of Le Roi des Montagnes Syrah 2017 from Papargyriou Winery, just to reveal them now to his most devoted fans!
If you’re one of them, make sure you grab yours before they’re gone!
