Why do we love it?

The beloved French variety caught the eye of the Karipidis family and the result is the Merlot 2020 from Ktima Karipidis. A rich, well-crafted wine, born from organic cultivation and the perfect compatibility between grape and terroir.

The Vounaina region of Larissa has proven itself capable of producing exceptional wines, thanks in large part to its unique microclimate. But the unwavering commitment of the Karipidis family who have been crafting wines that reflect the authenticity and quality of the Greek vineyard since 1908, is what truly sets it apart. With a focus on organic cultivation of international varieties, their Merlot 2020 was aged in new French oak barrels for 16 months, adding depth and complexity.

The result? A wine with all the classic aromatic hallmarks of the variety ripe plum and dark chocolate framed beautifully by elegant oak influence.

Merlot 2020 from Ktima Karipidis is simply delicious. You really need to try it!

On the palate, it has a full body, smooth tannins, and a subtle creaminess. Its fresh acidity balances the dense fruit perfectly. Flavors of dried plum, cherry, berry, dark chocolate, vanilla, allspice, and clove unfold in every sip.
