RED 2011 - KAMARA ESTATE

There are some wines that catch the spotlight and get rave reviews. But there are others that although low-key, shine wherever they appear.

Dimitris Kioutsoukis and his seven-member family at Domaine Kamara, prove once again that their success is anything but luck. With excellent stability and unique varietal expression, every year is getting better with international awards coming in to prove it.

Xinomavro adds the intensity and charm. The Merlot dresses it up with soft velvety texture to make Domaine Kamara Red 2011 one of the most beautiful blends of the two varieties.

In Melisochori Thessaloniki, the semi-continental microclimate with cold winters and hot summers cooled down by the sea breeze, provides ideal conditions for the perfect maturation of the two varieties.

The 2011 vintage turned out great! Staying in oak barrels for 12 months contributed to the further complexity of the blend without covering up its primary varietal characteristics.

Domaine Kamara Red 2011 reveals an excellent relationship with time. Not to mention the value for money relationship ...

Enjoy it now or age it further for five more years.

Ruby color with purple highlights.

On the nose the red fruits dominate with characteristic blackberry and plum discreetly accompanied by hints of the typical tomato aromas of xinomavro. The barrel has added a frame of sweet and spicy aromas. Toast, cinnamon, clove, vanilla and pepper blend harmoniously while mushroom and soil cues appear gradually contributing to the complexity of the bouquet.

In the mouth, perfectly harmonious with soft, fine tannins that blend nicely with the velvety texture and moderate acidity. Chocolate, blueberry and vanilla flavors dominate in the mouth, with a more spicy character that persists in the long lasting aftertaste.
