COMA BERENICES 2013 - DOMAIN MERKOURIS

The cultivating difficulty, the sensitivity to diseases and the low output makes the french variety Viogner not to be ranked among the loved varieties of wine-producers. The exquisite quality and peculiarity of its wine though, have put it in a special place in the heart of wine-lovers who seek it fanatically!

In Greece, we are not used to meeting it in wines often but when we do, these wines stand out for their finesse and complexity. It prefers warm climates and at Korakochori, Heleias, it found suitable ground to unfold its rich gifts.

The brothers Vasilis and Christos Kanellakopoulos who are the 4th generation of the Merkouris family and successors of the historic winery, believed in it and sign the constellation Coma Berenices 2013.

It is excellent an Viogner, which having remained for 3 months in french oak Barthomieu barrels, it has developed complex aromas and flavours that will impress even the demanding wine – lovers.

In the glass, its colour is crystal golden-yellow.

In the nose, a delicate at the begining but constantly developing bouquet of jasmin, rose, unripe peach and kiwi stand out, accompanied by honey syrup, vanilla,  rose - water and bread.

In the mouth, its full body combines oilness and noticeable and refreshing acidity in perfect balance. The light sweetness of the alcohol highlights the peach and honey while the long-lasting delicate aftertaste leaves a sense of compote in the mouth.
