Why do we love it?

He is one of the more "sophisticated" Greek wine producers. He takes risks and so far the results have been more than amazing. His labels are among the finest looking in the Greek market and international awards keep coming. Wherever he appears, the tastings are sold out in advance. Above all he is hard-working and a down to earth character.

So when this man brings us a wine saying this he put his soul into it, then you 'd better listen to him.

Scarce and sought after, the Le Roi des Montagnes 2013 Domaine Papargyriou is a Syrah different from others. A Syrah with such an exuberant and intense character that it never seizes to amaze!

The French variety is cultivated at an altitude of 850 m in the area of ​​Sofiano, Corinthia and taking risks with weather conditions, the grapes are harvested ripe. The result is staggering concentration of their almost wrinkled berries and a particularly high alcohol volume (16.5 %), which impresses with its surprisingly balanced integration throughout the palate.

Its name means "King of the Mountain" and it suits one of the greatest Greek Syrah.

The Le Roi des Montagnes 2013 Domaine Papargyriou is one of these red wines hard to resist to. If you can fight it, however, it will continue to evolve for at least another 10 years.

Bright purple color in the glass, indicative of his youth.

Impressive nose, with ripe fruity aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, sour cherry and blueberry, surrounded by violet, milk chocolate and eucalyptus. Vanilla, green pepper and cardamom add spicy character with milk caramel, fresh notes of earth, tobacco and skin appearing gradually, adding to its unique complexity.

Bold in the mouth, rich and spicy, with balanced acidity and remarkably soft, velvety tannins. The particularly high alcohol (16.5%) is elaborately integrated and hardly perceptible, beyond the initial sweetness which gives a jammy expression to the fruit. Blueberry, cherry and cashews are combined with cardamom and green pepper, while the rich chocolaty sensation remains in the mouth in the very long finish.

LE ROI DES MONTAGNES 2013 - DOMAINE PAPARGYRIOU

PAIR IT

Combine with rich meat dishes with red sauces, dishes with truffles and mushrooms or yellow aged cheeses

Pork with quince and carob syrup

  • 1 Kg pork leg or shoulder
  • 4 quinces
  • 50 gr butter
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 200 ml red wine
  • 150 ml carob syrup
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp. coriander seeds grounded
  • 150 gr flour
  • 20 gr tomato paste
  • 50 gr brown sugar
  • juice from an orange
  • Salt
  • Pepper

 

Cut the quinces in quarters, clean and cut each piece in 3 smaller pieces. Put them in a non-stick pan and sauté them lightly with butter. Pour in the orange juice and add 200 ml of warm water, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the quinces for about 30 minutes, until they are tender. Sprinkle with sugar, and leave them for 10 minutes to caramelize over the heat. Leave them aside until the pork is ready.

Cut the pork into large cubes, season them and dust them with flour. Skip the excess of flour. In a large saucepan, heat up the olive oil and sauté the meat well from all sides until it is well browned. Add the chopped onion, continue sauteing until it is glistening and slightly softened. Add the tomato paste and the coriander, sauté lightly and pour in the wine. Pour 200 ml of warm water and let the meat boil for about 1½ hours. If the liquids have been saved in between and the meat has not been done yet, add some warm water. Then put the quinces over the meat with the juice and simmer at low temperature for about 10 minutes to mix their flavors. Rotate the pot, but do not stir the food, because the quinces will melt. Add the carob syrup the last 5 minutes. Remove the food from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes and serve.
