Merlot Domaine Evharis is a rich red wine of the classic French winemaking school. It has dense fruit, oak aging, spices and earthy character that impresses from the first sip. Yes, it is not a wine that is drunk solo, as an aperitif, instead it requires complex meat dishes to take off.
In 1988, Eva and Harris (think of Ev-haris) decided to make their winery in a rather unusual area, in the Gerania Mountains, just outside Megara. If you google it, you will discover that vines were cultivated in the area since 1000 BC and Megareas, from which the area took its name, was the son of Oenoe, whose name is inseparably linked to wine.
Being both connoisseurs, they chose the area for both its history and its terroir as it is situated between two seas (Corinthian, Saronic), with the levels of humidity, coolness and temperature being ideal! They are so passionate about their work that they consider the vineyards as their children and deal with them with so much dedication and love that organic farming was almost the definite direction.
Their favorite Merlot is cultivated in the privately-owned vineyard of the Domaine, at an altitude of 400 meters. Harvest is done manually and after careful sorting, the extraction lasts 15 days and is done in open tanks. The precious juice ages in French oak barrels for 12 months and when it is finally ready for bottling, Merlot Domaine Evharis has complexity and almost silky tannins.
