Kotsifali Indigenous Yeasts Karavitakis Winery is definitely one of the most beautiful red wines of Crete, which puts Kotsifali where it deserves, on its throne. This awkward red variety, in the right hands, proves that it can really give amazing wines!
Nikos Karavitakis, wanting to explore the potential of Cretan varieties and the old vines that the Cretan vineyard hides, decided to deal with a new project. For this project, he scoured the whole island and found old and ungrafted vines from Kotsifali and Liatiko and let the terroir do its job. What do we mean by that? Indigenous yeasts, minimal filtration and discreet use of oak (only 14 months in used oak barrels), in order to let the characteristics of each variety shine. Kotsifali Indigenous Yeasts is probably the most special wine of the project as it emphasizes the elegant side of the variety, a side that we may not have discovered until today. Slightly chilled, it is one of the reds that will accompany you during summer nights and if its 500 bottles last, during winter ones too.
