Why did we like Gold by Petrakopoulos Winery? Where should we start? From the emblematic label, the rare variety, the limited quantity, or that it is an amazingly complex and delicious wine? To all the above mentioned add the "signature" of Petrakopoulos Winery, which creates diamonds with explosive Cephalonian personality and insistence on the prominence of the island's terroir.
Zakynthino is a rare Greek variety that originates in Zakynthos but is cultivated with great results in Cephalonia. Nikos Petrakopoulos and Kiki Samielis extract, from old, non-irrigated, organic vineyards, pure "gold". Hard work on the vineyard and minimal interventions and ornaments during the vinification give an incredibly expressive wine that does not look like and compares to anything else you have tried.
The price of Gold is unrivaled for its quality and almost urges you to take more than one bottle to see its wonderful evolution in time...
