Being undoubtedly one of the best Greek Cabernet Sauvignons, Avlotopi 2006 by Domaine Tselepos is a great red wine which proves the unique aging potential and evolving capabilities of the varietal.
Giannis Tselepos signs a benchmark vinification of the classical french variety with special emphasis on every technical detail, from the vineyard untill to the final bottling.
It is named after the specific vineyard in Tegea, Arkadia, with the especially barren ground and the natural low yields. The late harvest contributed to the ideal maturing and the maximum condensation of the fruit while the especially long extraction which lasts for 30 – 40 days intergrated all the flavour characteristics in a full of intensity red wine. The fifteen – month staying in french oak barrels gave it its velvety character without killing the fruit.
If you have not tried it yet, it is a great opportunity to taste one of the Greek wines that you should enjoy and why not keep it in you cellar for 4 – 5 more years.
Buying 6 bottles, you will receive them in the Domaine's beautiful wooden crate!
