He is one of the more "sophisticated" Greek wine producers. He takes risks and so far the results have been more than amazing. His labels are among the finest looking in the Greek market and international awards keep coming. Wherever he appears, the tastings are sold out in advance. Above all he is hard-working and a down to earth character.
So when this man brings us a wine saying this he put his soul into it, then you 'd better listen to him.
Scarce and sought after, the Le Roi des Montagnes 2013 Domaine Papargyriou is a Syrah different from others. A Syrah with such an exuberant and intense character that it never seizes to amaze!
The French variety is cultivated at an altitude of 850 m in the area of Sofiano, Corinthia and taking risks with weather conditions, the grapes are harvested ripe. The result is staggering concentration of their almost wrinkled berries and a particularly high alcohol volume (16.5 %), which impresses with its surprisingly balanced integration throughout the palate.
Its name means "King of the Mountain" and it suits one of the greatest Greek Syrah.
The Le Roi des Montagnes 2013 Domaine Papargyriou is one of these red wines hard to resist to. If you can fight it, however, it will continue to evolve for at least another 10 years.
