The biggest lesson we learned from Nikos Karatzas, with Apla Oenops, is that all great romances begin completely Apla (simply)! From the very first glass, Apla Oenops will immediately overcome your palate, with the simplicity of its fruity aromas, balance, and freshness! James Suckling topped it with 91 pts, while gold medals in international competitions are eye catching!
Apla Oenops has been vinified by the well-known Greek wine veteran Nikos Karatzas and exudes authenticity! After his travels and his studies in Bordeaux, France, and after closing his collaboration with the Pavlidis Estate, he had an idea that constantly tormented him. So in 2015, he started his winery in Drama, under the name Oenops, which was also the newest in the region. How every year it claims a place in the list of the top 50 Greek wines and even in the top 20, we don't need to explain it to you. You will understand once you taste his wines!
Oenops cooperates with winegrowers and producers in different regions of Greece, from Soufli to Amyntaio and from Rapsani to Heraklion! With hard work in the vineyards throughout the year, the excellent quality of the grapes is a given. Apla Oenops is a blend of the defining varieties of northern Greece, Malagouzia, Assyrtiko and Vidiano from Crete, aging 12 to 45 years. A small percentage of whole bunches participate in the pressing, while the fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and amphorae. Its 2-month stay on the lees gives it extra volume and structure, which enhance its intense fruit aromas and refreshing freshness. And all these with an unbeatable quality-price ratio!
It is the wine that will have a place on your table every day, so we would advise you to start directly with a case…
