Amethystos Red Wine (750mL) – C. Lazaridi

Amethystos Red Wine (750mL) - C. Lazaridi

The touch of the great “Flying” winemaker Michel Rolland, who consults our estate on red winemaking, leaves a strong impression on our oldest red wine label.

Amethystos is a semi-precious stone, which according to legend protects whoever holds it from drunkenness lends its name to the Estates most popular wine family. Created for the first time in 1992, hasn’t stopped gaining new friends since.

Type:

Dry, Still, Red, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Agiorgitiko

Grape Varieties:

Cabernet Sauvignon 70%, Merlot 20%, Agiorgitiko 10%

Tasting notes:

Bright and dense, purple red. Well structured bouquet, combining aromas of red forest fruit, cherry jam and spices on a discreet oak background. Warm and full at first, it then unrolls its richness, structure and its noble tannins. The long finish sees the return of of the aromas of fruit and spices.

Ageing:

It will continue to evolve for at least 15-20 years after the harvest year.

Food pairing:

Loves all red meats but is especially fond of lamb chops or oven baked leg of lamb. A joy with a red sauce beef casserole or soft mature cheeses like brie or camembert.
