AROTHYMIES 2015 - DOMAINE KELESIDIS

Red wine, complex in the nose, rich and velvety in the mouth. With noticeable tannins and balanced acidity that freshens the mouth. Oh, and semi-dry!

Eh, how are these combined?

The Arothymies Domaine Kelessidis with the controversial label proves there can be semi-dry wines with personality and depth that many dry wines  would envy.

The 65 acres Kelessidis family's organic vineyard is situated in the popular and charismatic on the microclimate Giannakochori village, 5 km from Naoussa. The blend of Xinomavro, Syrah and Merlot, is aged for 15 months in smoked oak barrels gaining unprecedented complexity and finesse.

Arothymies 2015 definitely will surprise you with his character by opening new paths for your palate. It suits holidays and festive tables perfectly so be careful to ensure your own bottles while still available.

Deep ruby ​​color in the glass.

Complex nose with aromas of plum jam, cherry and sour cherry combined with rose and violet on a background of sweet spices. Toffee, cotton candy and herbal hints of grass complete the rich aromatic profile.

Rich mouth, full of tension. The nicely integrated sweetness balances the elaborately pronounced acidity which lightens the palate, while the distinct tannins add special interest. Cherry, raspberry and caramel insist on the remarkably long aftertaste.
