SORRY GUYS, WE RAN OUT OF THIS ONE

True Diamont Rock!

SEND PAGE TO FRIEND

Why do we love it?

You often hear us talk about diamonds of the Greek vineyard etc. Well, this is a real diamond rock both in name and in substance! The 3 Diamantakis brothers set out to create a red wine, a true jewel of their winery, and apparently they succeeded.

From the foothills of Psiloreitis, the cosmopolitan Syrah and the charismatic Mandilari, matured in barrels of French and American oak for 12 months, and gave a rich, complex, impressive red wine that excited us!

Rich, deep ruby ​​color.

On the nose, a true aroma's feast, with Blackberry, ripe cherry and black berry meeting pepper, vanilla and cinnamon. Tobacco, wood and nuts, especially roasted hazelnut and dried figs, make their appearance to complement the rich and complex aromatic palette.

In the mouth, the feast continues with the accented acidity and the slow and harnessed tannins to be perfectly balanced  into a full bodied red wine. The mouth is flooded with aromas of wood, smoke, nuts and ripe fruit. This feeling remains in the mouth for a long time in a very long aftertaste.

DIAMOND ROCK 2011 - DIAMANTAKIS WINERY

PAIR IT

Combine with roasted red meat, spicy red sauces or a yellow cheeses plate

Pork chops with tomato jam and crispy leek

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 6 extra tablespoons (for leek)
  • 1 fresh onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 4 ripe tomatoes finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of mirin (or white wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar)
  • 4 pork chops (about 2 cm thick)
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 leek (white part only) well washed

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and the garlic and cook until they become transparent, about 3 minutes.

Add tomatoes and mirin (or vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar). Boil while stirring to moderate heat, until the mixture becomes almost dry or about 15 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Sauté until they get a nice golden-brown color, about 1.5 minutes on each side. Transfer them to a baking pan and roast them for about 5 minutes in the preheated oven.

Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Chop the white part of the leek. Add the leeks to the hot olive oil and fry until crisp.
