Why do we love it?

There are wines and there are great wines. Those that are delightful from the moment you grab the bottle in your hands until the sad moment you are watching the last drop running down the glass (preferably yours...). Those that with every sip provide the material for creating memories that will last long after emptying the bottle.

Undeniably the very limited production Le Roi Des Montagnes Cuvee belongs to the great red wines of Greece. A king who descended from the mountain and has rightfully earned his place in our glasses and our heart from the moment he first appeared a few years ago.

Yiannis Papargyriou leaves his favorite Syrah behind to deal with an original blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon complemented by Touriga Nacional and Mavrodaphne, each participating with its own merits.

Why we love it?

Traditionally high in alcohol, the Le Roi Des Montagnes Cuvee 2019 by Papargyriou Estate, although still incredibly young, it is already wonderfully enjoyable today. The late harvest ensures the explosive flavor concentration. The 24 months in 300 lt French oak barrels added complexity and softened the tannins giving them an unexpectedly velvety feel. The beautiful, award-winning bottle hosts the wine unfiltered with minimal intervention from the producer.

When to drink it?

We suggest you age it until 2027. Of course you can do whatever you want.

Tastes Like

With its deep and dense purple color, it impresses while stil in the glass.

Rich, evolving nose with cherry, mature strawberry and gooseberry jam followed by spicy aromas black pepper, vanilla and tobacco. Fresh soil, violet and herbal hints of black tea continue the aromatic parade. Then comes eucalyptus, milk chocolate and roasted coffee. You will surely discover something new while you wait. Leave some in the bottle and return for it tomorrow.

Rich, tasty on the palate with intensity and velvety texture. The elaborately crafted tannins are perfectly balanced with the noticeable acidity and traditional pinched alcohol which does not feel unfamiliar or chokes the fruit. Cherry and ripe strawberry feel like they were dipped in pepper and remain in the mouth in the long-lasting aftertaste.

Put all spices, zest and pine nuts on the mortar and shred them. In a bowl add the tomato paste, the spices and the melted butter. In the milk, dissolve ¼ of the beef stock cube, mix and add to the mixture. After kneading for 5 to 7 minutes, we make kebabs in the corresponding shape. Put the kebabs in the refrigerator and leave for 1 hour. In a frying pan, mix all the ingredients of the sauce together and simmer until it thickens. Roast the kebabs and pitta breads on a charcoal grill or in the oven. After the kebabs are cooked, put them on the pitta breads by adding plenty of sauce, yogurt and chili flakes, preferably!
