Why do we love it?

It took us a while to taste it. We apologize. No matter how long it takes us, the 2013 Merlot Domaine Hatzigeorgiou from Kavala continues to be one of the best Merlot in Greece.

The story begins somewhere in 1952 when Vassilis Hatzigeorgiou (grandfather) managed to gather an important time area 185 acres in the foothills of Mount Pangeon after private consolidation. Domaine Hatzigeorgiou from Kavala continues the not-so-silent work, producing wines from those you won’t easily forget.

Third generation now, the grandson Vassilis Hatzigeorgiou took over the winery in 2006 with the first step being creating a modern boutique winery. Since the beginning they invested in the French varieties. Now they are considered to be sort of experts. The certified organic vineyards of the estate at the foot of Mt. Paggeo benefit from both the ideal microclimate of the area with the sea breeze cooling the hot summer afternoons, and the particular composition of the soil.

The Merlot 2013 Domaine Hatzigeorgiou is one of the great red wines. One of those you will take home and when you try it, you will understand how to behave to them.

Impressive bright ruby ​​color in the glass.

Sweet aromas of red fruits, especially strawberries and cherries, take the lead initially. Spicy and sweet spices follow as the beautifully integrated barrel is gradually expressed. Vanilla, toffee and black pepper complement the fruit, adding complexity and depth to the aromatic character.

On the palate, rich, velvety, with rounded moderate tannins and beautifully balanced acidity. Intense oral aromas move between strawberry jam and toffee while the long lasting aftertaste is spicier.
