NOSTOS MOURVEDRE 2019 - MANOUSAKIS WINERY

We know you wanted it and you were looking for it everywhere, so we managed to find the last, very few, collectible bottles of Nostos Mourvedre Manousakis Winery. It is one of the most impressive and rare wines of the Cretan vineyard and now, fortunately, it can be yours as well!

The majestic winery in Vatolakkos, Chania is a reference point both for its excellent wines and for the unique tastings and guided tours it organizes. Father Manousakis founded the family winery in 1993 when he returned from the States, where he lived for years. He chose to give his wines the name Nostos because during the years he lived as an immigrant he missed his Crete every day (nostos from nostalgia). The return of his daughter, Alexandra, after 14 years, was what changed everything. The family united around a bunch of grapes, determined to create the best they could from their blessed land. Thirteen years later, Manousakis Winery rightfully belongs to the most remarkable Greek wineries, which shine abroad.

Nostos Mourvedre is their pride. A vineyard at 320-380 meters, with old and young vines, gives its best fruit. This is followed by classic red vinification in oak tanks and maceration for 20 days, which gives a deep color and robust tannins. The wine ages in French (75%) and American (25%) barrels for 12 months and is bottled unfiltered in a few rare bottles.

Nostos Mourvedre Manousakis Winery is the ultimate gift for every wine collector!

Nostos Mourvedre Manousakis Winery has deep purple color and intoxicating aromas of cherry, sour cherry, plum, blackberry, cassis, bilberry, vanilla, leather, pepper, licorice, violet, chocolate and coffee.

In the mouth it has impressive structure, full body, intense but ripe tannins and balanced acidity. Rich and ripe black fruit combined with notes of sweet spices, leather, bacon, coconut and chocolate.
