Why do we love it?

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!

Tastes Like

Tempting nose, with ripe fruity aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, sour cherry and blueberry, surrounded by violet, milk chocolate and eucalyptus. Vanilla, green pepper and cardamom add spicy character with milk caramel, fresh notes of earth, tobacco and skin appearing gradually, adding to its unique complexity.

With an almost chewable body, spicy character, balanced acidity and remarkably velvety tannins it will be hard not to impress you. The particularly high alcohol (16 %) is elaborately integrated and hardly perceptible, beyond the initial sweetness which gives a jammy expression to the fruit. Blueberry, cherry and cashews are combined with cardamom and green pepper. The rich chocolaty feel remains in the mouth in the very long aftertaste.

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
