Mega Spilaio Estate Cuvee III Red 2022 is the wine that immediately wins you over with its finesse and strong personality. An excellent combination of the Mavrodaphne, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Agiorgitiko varieties, which went through new French oak barrels and acquired complexity and indescribable structure.
The varieties are cultivated at the historic Mega Spilaio Estate in the Aigialeia area, in the Ampelos area of the Kalavryta province with the imposing Vouraikos gorge at their feet. The first references to the vineyard and the monastery's wines date back to 1550. Over the centuries, the number of monks decreased significantly and the vineyard was gradually abandoned. In 1999, it was re-vineyarded using modern viticultural techniques. The area has a long wine tradition while the precise location and soil conditions give wines with unique personalities and strong characteristics.
The Mega Cave Estate Cuvee III Red 2022 consists of Mavrodaphne 40%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, and Agiorgitiko 20% which after fermentation matured for 8 months in new oak barrels, giving the wine the depth and complexity that make it particularly special. After bottling it is left to "rest" for some time in the cellars of the estate, before taking the place it deserves in your cellar and your heart!
The Mega Cave Cuvee III Red 2022 is the perfect example of the balance of time and excellent winemaking and it is definitely worth giving it its time to unfold properly in a carafe before enjoying it. You will appreciate it too!
