One of those every wine lover should know!

SEND PAGE TO FRIEND

Why do we love it?

One of the most rare Greek varieties grows into one of the most unique terroirs of Greece. The unknown Chidiriotiko is cultivated in the heart of the crater of the volcano that caused the Petrified Forest of Lesvos. You certainly understand that Methymnaios Red, the wine produced by this combination, could not but anything less than a unique red wine every wine lover should know.

In the early 80s the Lambrou family discovered the last remaining roots of the ancient variety of Lesvos, just outside the abandoned village Chidira in Lesvos. Since then Yiannis Lambrou began to captivate in each bottle the personality of the particular and rare variety of Chidiriotiko. Following strictly organic methods of cultivation and winemaking the variety is allowed to express itself fully, whereas the light, careful touch of oak for four months, adds the depth and complexity that was missing.

If you let it breathe for half an hour before you enjoy it, you will certainly not regret it ...
