Size: 750ml
Grape: Mandilaria
Producer: Giannis Stilianou
Region: Crete, Greece
In the cellar: Mandilaria is an intense and tannic, dark-skinned grape, so in order to make a lighter red, Giannis macerates the juice on its grape skins for just one day in a flash-maceration vinification. Mandilaria is named after Great Mother, the mother goddess of ancient Minoans.
Farming method: Organic
Tasting notes: ‘Great Mother’ is a fantastic light-bodied red wine full of depth and structure. It has an almost sylvan, herbaceous quality, a bit reminiscent of a Chinon, with pretty notes of rose petals and salted plums.
