Mataro is the dominant grape in this blend with a small percentage of the Greek variety Agiorgitiko and the local Maratheftiko. Young and fresh, luscious blackcurrant, cherry and plum with gentle floral, ground pepper and earthy spice. The fruit-driven palate is rich but with acidity aplenty, and a fistful of muscular, spicy tannins.
