Cabernet Sauvignon simply confirms the adaptability of King Cab and has nothing at all to envy from Bordeaux! The most famous variety of red wine in the world made a stop in Boiotia and agreed with the Zacharias brothers to become a bestseller!
The Muses Estate was founded by the Zacharias family in 1947, in Askri Thebes, formerly Askra which means "rich in grapes". After three generations of winemakers, their creations occupy prominent places on our tables and cellars. In recent years, the Zacharias brothers have been experimenting a lot with rare Greek varieties, because they have proven that they know the international ones very well. This becomes very clear in the Muses Estate Premium range, inspired by the 9 muses who once lived in the valley and now decorate their labels.
In the valley of the Muses, located at the foothills of Mount Helicon, the vines benefit from altitude, rivers, and organic farming, combining the ideal factors to create unique wines, bearing the stamp of the terroir. Cabernet Sauvignon is grown at an altitude of between 450 and 550 meters and the good exposure to sunlight, due to the 7% slope of the land, allows the difficult Cabernet to ripen perfectly. The wine ferments and matures for 18 months, in French oak barrels and the result is a tremendous concentration of fruit and a unique complexity while maintaining its acidity.
If you want to taste a top Greek Cabernet, Cabernet Sauvignon - Muses Estate is just it. If you want to take it off, know that it has at least a decade ahead of it!
