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.
