Why do we love it?
Merlot from Mpougiouris Estate is the wine you loved more than any other, the one you put on your casual dinner table, shared on your festive moments and offered as a gift. It is also the wine that redefined the term value for money!

Mpougiouris brothers have a special bond with the French variety because it gives wines round and velvety. This was their purpose when they planted Merlot in their vineyards on the slopes of Kithaironas. Endless care at all stages, from viticulture to final bottling, has provided a wine that you should try hard not to love. The 12-month maturation in French oak barrels gave the finishing touches reaching the final goal: velvety tannins, ripe fruit coated with vanilla and butterscotch notes in a chocolatey dimension.

Merlot 2021 from Mpougiouris Estate is fairly one of the most beloved Greek red wines and a sip will never ever be enough.
