Why do we love it?

Cabernet Franc 2022 from Zafiri Winery is a textbook expression of the variety, managing to combine the elegance that defines it with the expressiveness and dense, ripe fruit bestowed by the warm climate of Nemea! The spicy caress of oak comes in to complement the fruit, composing a wine that will effortlessly take centre stage at any Sunday roast.

Georgia Zavvou, the third generation of the winery, returned after working in Burgundy and US with the aim of revitalising the family estate, which was founded in 1956. Across 13 privately owned hectares of vineyards in Ancient Nemea, they cultivate both Greek and international varieties, with remarkable results.

Cabernet Franc 2022 Zafiri Winery originates from vineyards in the mountainous Nemea. Fermentation takes place in open oak vats using indigenous yeasts, and the wine is then aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. This lends the wine velvety tannins along with a spicy and chocolatey character.

An expressive Cabernet Franc that showcases the potential of international varieties in Nemea. Discover it now!

PAIR IT

Pair it with mature cheeses, slow-cooked beef with aubergines, or octopus stifado.

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
