OCEAN RED 2014 - IDAIA WINERY

  Heraklion, Crete
SORRY GUYS, WE RAN OUT OF THIS ONE

Complexity to its limits!

SEND PAGE TO FRIEND

Why do we love it?

Carrying the heavy legacy after the striking distinctions of its predecessor, Ocean Red 2014 by Idaia Winery proves that the apple did not fell far from the tree.

The Cretan Mandilaria and the cosmopolitan Syrah meet in a blend that shows exemplary behavior in time and in the barrel where it remained for 12 months.

Although low-key, the couple and oenologists Vasilis Laderos and Poppy Volitaki have fanatic fans in the wine world who eagerly await their next achievements. Investing in the excellent raw material of their vineyard in the area of Dafnes in Heraklion, risking late harvests, they succeed to reach the tasty and aromatic complexity of their wine to its limits.

It is no coincidence that the vineyard is located in the oldest perhaps of Europe's vineyards, tracing back to the Minoan period.

Do not be afraid to age it for at least eight more years. It is worth the wait.

And the collection of awards continues ...

Tastes Like

Ruby color in the glass with light brick red highlights.

Ripe red fruit with spicy tones jump out of the glass. Raspberry and cherry are combined with butter notes, colorful peppers and nuts. Vanilla, tobacco, leather, ink and oak complete the uniquely complex bouquet.

Rich mouth with accentuated but nicely rounded tannins and noticeable acidity that adds interest. Nuts and vanilla accompany the cherry and insist on the long-lasting spicy aftertaste.
