Paterianakis 2019 Melissokipos Red (Crete) ORGANIC

Impressively coloured and robustly flavoured, yet only 12.5% in alcohol. Spicy and incisive red wine with above-average character and interest for its echelon. A poster child for the virtues of autochthynous varieties. The Kotsifali is harvested first and made in tank, while the Mandilari is harvested last and aged in barrel.
