When an experienced winemaker meets Argentina’s hottest grape variety in the heart of Nemea, something magical happens — and it’s called Christiana by Domaine Harlaftis!
This is a juicy, fruit-forward Malbec born from the warm, sun-drenched climate of Nemea.
Christiana - Domaine Harlaftis was the first Malbec to be vinified in Greece. The vines were brought directly from Mendoza Argentina, planted and cultivated in the privately-owned vineyard of Domaine Harlaftis in Achladi, Nemea. The sophisticated oenologist Panos Zouboulis worked for years in Argentina (Bodegas Krontiras, if you know what we mean!) with his favorite red variety. As you can see, they could not have chosen a better person for this daring experiment. Zouboulis’s success in this endeavor is so sweeping that Christiana is the first wine of the estate to run out every year!
Malbec has found a remarkable expression in Nemea’s unique terroir, producing grapes of outstanding quality. The wine begins fermentation in 500-liter oak barrels and is then aged for 12 months in French oak, gaining depth, earthy undertones, and impressive complexity. Production is intentionally small, and availability is already limited. If you're looking to experience the global excitement around Malbec through a distinctly Greek lens, Christiana 2021 by Domaine Harlaftis is a standout ambassador of this bold red variety.
One bottle of Christiana Domaine Harlaftis is never enough so you know what to do!
