Why do we love it?

The Cyrus One La Tour Melas is able to sprinkle your life with cocoa, blueberries, stardust, and luxury. With a sip, you understand that at La Tour Melas they do a top-notch job at all their wines.

The work done in both the vineyard and the winery can be seen in Cyrus One. Not that we expected something different from the perfectionist Kyros Melas, who leaves nothing to chance! Elsa Pickard and Panos Zoumboulis do their magic and compose an intoxicating blend of 15% Agiorgitiko, 25% Cabernet Franc and 60% Merlot. The grapes are picked by hand and each variety is vinified separately, with indigenous yeasts. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are going through long extraction while Agiorgitiko is fermented at low temperatures to maintain its fruit purity and its freshness. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new. Cabernet Franc matures for 22 months, Merlot for 20 months, and Agiorgitiko for 12 months. The result is juicy and exuberant, with an impressive structure.

Cyrus One La Tour Melas is the epitome of affordable luxury!

For the sweet potato puree
Bake sweet potatoes by wrapping them in baking sheet and baking them at 200 ° C for as long as needed (about 1 hour).

Pierce them with a fork to see if they are cooked, then peel them, mush them up and keep them warm.

Boil the milk and cream along with the leaves of sage over low heat, remove the leaves and add the sweet potatoes. Then season well, taste it and correct the seasoning.

Mix and after you remove it from the fire, add the butter.


For the Roast Beef
Band the fillet with a string or ask the butcher to do it.

Grind in the multi the dried mushrooms, peppercorns, herbs and some salt. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C and in a hot saucepan sauté the fillet on a very high heat.

When it gets a nice color from all sides put it on a roasting grill and below it put a baking pan.
Brush the fillet with butter and spread the mushroom-herb mixture evenly.

Bake the fillet in the lower shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes at 200 ° C, for a medium baking. If you want your fillet well done, continue for about 15 minutes. For rare, cook it for only 35 minutes.

Once you remove the fillet from the oven, wrap it well with foil, leaving it to rest for at least 40 minutes before serving.


For the gravy sauce
Soak the mushrooms in the stock for as long as possible.

In a thick bottom pot, place the butter and once it is melted, add the flour, by stirring continuously until it gets an amber color, then lower the heat to the minimum.

Add the broth after removing the mushrooms and all other ingredients.
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, taste it and, if necessary, add more salt.

Serve the sliced roast beef, with sweet potato puree and gravy on top.
