Vaptistis Red 2018 - Vaptistis Winery

Sorry guys, we ran out of this one {{item.CannotBuyReason}}
Why do we love it?

Vaptistis Red of the Vaptistis Winery is a well-made and delicious wine, derived from two rare indigenous Cycladic varieties. Mavrothiriko and Mandilaria. If you like wines with peppery aromas, soft herbalism, and intense tannins that have softened with the caress of time, then here you are. You will enjoy this wine like no other!

In 2013, Yiannis Moraitis gave life to his family-owned vineyards in the mountain village of Steni, in Tinos. The multi-year effort led in 2016, to the first harvest of the 30 acres of vineyards and the first bottling of his wine. The winery cultivates only Greek grape varieties and wants to highlight the distinct terroir of the Cyclades. As it turned out, Assyrtiko and Mavrotragano cooperated perfectly with the soil and climate of Tinos and the results were impressive. But he did not stop there and continued with the promotion of hard-to-find varieties such as Mandilaria and Mavrothiriko. His efforts were justified by proving that the microclimate of the island, combined with very talented winemakers, yield extremely impressive fruits!

Vaptistis Red has been tested in different blends. Each of them reveals the enormous potential of the Tinian land. Vaptistis Red includes the Mandilaria and Mavrothiriko varieties from vineyards at an altitude of 430 meters. The blend was fermented for 15 days at 32°C, in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. It remained in contact with the lees for 6 months, while after their removal and bottling, it remained another 4 months in the bottle.

It is the wine that you will drink very comfortably in the summer. We would suggest that you give it a short walk from the fridge beforehand. A short one!

Tastes Like

In the glass, it is faint ruby. The high aromatic intensity with dense red fruit. Cherry, strawberry, gooseberry, sour cherry, and pomegranate impress with their intensity and purity. Soft sense of vanilla, green tea, and ginger with pepper follow.

In the mouth, it is a medium (+) body with intense soft tannins and dense fruit. The acidity adds nerve and the slightly oily feel adds up to a very enjoyable and juicy result.

For the sweet potato puree
Bake sweet potatoes by wrapping them in baking sheet and baking them at 200 ° C for as long as needed (about 1 hour).

Pierce them with a fork to see if they are cooked, then peel them, mush them up and keep them warm.

Boil the milk and cream along with the leaves of sage over low heat, remove the leaves and add the sweet potatoes. Then season well, taste it and correct the seasoning.

Mix and after you remove it from the fire, add the butter.


For the Roast Beef
Band the fillet with a string or ask the butcher to do it.

Grind in the multi the dried mushrooms, peppercorns, herbs and some salt. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C and in a hot saucepan sauté the fillet on a very high heat.

When it gets a nice color from all sides put it on a roasting grill and below it put a baking pan.
Brush the fillet with butter and spread the mushroom-herb mixture evenly.

Bake the fillet in the lower shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes at 200 ° C, for a medium baking. If you want your fillet well done, continue for about 15 minutes. For rare, cook it for only 35 minutes.

Once you remove the fillet from the oven, wrap it well with foil, leaving it to rest for at least 40 minutes before serving.


For the gravy sauce
Soak the mushrooms in the stock for as long as possible.

In a thick bottom pot, place the butter and once it is melted, add the flour, by stirring continuously until it gets an amber color, then lower the heat to the minimum.

Add the broth after removing the mushrooms and all other ingredients.
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, taste it and, if necessary, add more salt.

Serve the sliced roast beef, with sweet potato puree and gravy on top.
