Glinavos’ Red Velvet (Kokkino Veloudo) may have a fresh new look, now featuring Thymiopoulos’ signature on the back label, but at heart it remains true to its name: velvety, juicy and packed with vibrant fruit. Fine-grained tannins add just the right touch of structure, making it an effortless companion to every Sunday table and a wine that comfortably rises to any family feast.
Apostolos Thymiopoulos never stops seeking new experiences in the world of wine, and when the opportunity to become involved in the Zitsa wine region came along, he didn't let it pass him by. He invested in Glinavos winery and its high-altitude organic vineyards, opening up a whole new world of winemaking possibilities. He kept the winery's original name as a tribute to Glinavos and its heritage, while adding his own personal signature.
The grapes for Kokkino Veloudo Glinavos come from the winery's organic vineyards. The blend consists of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and 30% Vlachiko. As with all of Apostolos’ wines, fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, allowing the vineyard’s character to shine through with authenticity and precision. The wine is then matured for 12 months in a combination of 225L and 500L oak barrels. The result is a beautifully rounded, velvety wine, with an added layer of spicy complexity and remarkable harmony on the palate.
We're sure Glinavos Kokkino Veloudo will become your favourite red wine to share with friends around the table this winter!
