Gerovasiliou Estate Avaton Dry Red Wine 750ml

Velvety and creamy at the same time, strong and crisp, it is an incredibly cosmopolitan wine that will add style and maximize enjoyment to any quality meat meal. Red and black fruits, spices, herbs and earth notes are just some of the aromas and flavors that 'come out' from the first sip!

this is Vangelis Gerovasiliou. The result more than justified him. Avaton is a wine that will impress beginners and win over connoisseurs. A top red wine, resulting from three relatively unknown Greek varieties with a long history and even greater potential.

It is produced from the Greek native varieties Limnio, Mavroudi and Mavrotragano. Limnio - referred to by Aristotle as "limnia ampelos" - is the oldest Greek variety.
After extraction and completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in special Burgundy wooden tanks, the wine is aged for approximately 12 to 18 months in new French oak barrels. It has a bright deep purple color, a complex "bouquet" of spices with ripe black fruits (blackberry), raisin, coffee and cocoa.
In the mouth gentle tannins are supported by plenty of fruit creating strength and balance. Its aftertaste is long-lasting with repetition of spices. It has great aging potential (15-20 years) and is served at 16-18 °C.
Flavor combinations: red meats in a pot with spicy sauces, hairy game.
