Why do we love it?

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!

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
