5 + 1 ONIROS 2014 - KTIMA KOURTIS

Oniros is the flagship wine of Apostοlos Kourtis. Its name is inspired by Greek mythology. Oniros was the messenger of Zeus who sent dreams to people and it's the perfect fitting name, as this wine can make you dream of the green breathtaking slopes of Mount Olympus and feel a bit like a god.

Apostolos Kourtis started working with wine in 1997 where he planted his first vineyard, in Rachi of Pieria, under the shadow of Olympus. He is constantly experimenting with Greek and foreign varieties such as Vidiano and Trebbiano. Oniros is a unique blend that includes Syrah (50%), Xinomavro (25%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) and Agiorgitiko (10%). Each variety is individually vinified and matures in French or American barrels for approximately 15 months. In the end, they all blend in to make a robust, dense and uniquely complex wine.

In good vintages the number of bottles do not exceed the 3000, making Oniros collectible!

Deep, almost opaque, purple color. Exquisite aromas of ripe sour cherry, berry and blueberry and intense spicy character with notes of paprika, vanilla and black pepper. Animal hints such as bacon and leather as well as earthy aromas of black olive and mushroom complement the set. Dense, full body and crisp acidity with robust, tasty tannins. All in excellent balance.
