Melissinos Red 2021

PRODUCT OF ORGANIC FARMING

Crete has a long tradition of producing high-quality Syrah wines. The island’s unique climate contributes to a full-bodied style with refined tannins. The warm temperatures, combined with well-balanced acidity, create the perfect conditions for crafting exceptional wines.

This Syrah is ideal for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the aging potential of red wines, with the ability to mature gracefully in the cellar for up to 25 years.

For optimal enjoyment, decanting for 30 minutes is recommended.
