The Naked King from Pieria Eratini estate is the perfect marriage of cosmopolitan Syrah with the distinctive character of the rare Kolindrino variety. The King arrives to join his Queen and reveal the power of the land and exemplary winemaking!
Founded in 2007 in Kolindros, Pieria, by oenologists Pavlos Argyropoulos, Andreas Pantos and Stelios Pyrpilis, Pieria Eratini Estate was created to showcase the wine potential of the region. Its vineyards cover about 15 hectares in a stunning location between mountain and sea, at the foothills of Mount Olympus. Cultivation is organic, and the unique microclimate helps produce wines with freshness, character, and aging potential.
The winery applies low yields and special techniques so that each wine authentically expresses its origin. They cultivate Greek, international, and rare local varieties, such as the indigenous Kolindrino, which, when combined with Syrah, reveals impressive dynamics.
The Naked King was born from a small 0.85-hectare vineyard at the foothills of Olympus, with the first vines planted in 1999 at an altitude of 400 meters. Co-fermentation of 85% Syrah and 15% Kolindrino took place at controlled temperatures, with maceration lasting over 25 days—a method used in Bordeaux that gives the wine seductive color and structure. Aging in new oak barrels for 24 months added depth, polished tannins, and the ability to rest in your cellar for at least 8 years.
Decant it, and you’ll thank the gods of Olympus for this miracle!
