GOUMENISSA RED

Protected Denomination of Origin GOUMENISSA (P.D.O.)

A classic expression of the Goumenissa terroir, this P.D.O. red blends 70% Xinomavro with 30% Negoska from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in Filyria. After cold maceration and extended fermentation, it matures for 12 months in French oak and another 6 in the bottle. Deep garnet in color, it unveils a layered bouquet of raspberry, blackberry, cherry, and savory notes of olive, sun-dried tomato, and vanilla. Full-bodied and rich in tannins, it delivers a bold, lingering finish—ideal alongside grilled meats, saucy pastas, and aged cheeses.

VINIFICATION

The 2 varieties are let to conferment in a wooden tank. The alcoholic fermentation is followed by extended maceration and malolactic fermentation. The wine remains in contact with the lees for 8 months before being transferred to French oak barrels where aging continues for an additional 12 months.
