KAPNISTOS 2013 - DALAMARAS WINERY

We have mentioned several times that he is included in the lists of the most promising young winemakers worldwide. Kostis Dalamaras, age 29, "played" with the organic blend of Malagousia - Assyrtiko aging it in oak barrels. Applying a special technique of maturation in not completely filled barrels, allowing greater contact of the wine with oxygen during its 12-month stay there.

The choice of its name is far random (smoked). With the photo of the family's ancestors on the label, the Kapnistos 2013 Dalamaras Winery  enchants with complexity in the nose and the intensity and duration in the mouth.

It is bottled in a limited number of bottles and hard to come by away from the small family winery at the entrance of Naoussa.

Do not miss the opportunity to share a good dinner with it these days.

In the glass, striking golden yellow color.

On the nose, rich aromas of dried peach, roasted caramel and oak leaves no doubt about its being in a barrel. Butter, honey, tobacco and sweet spices are revealed gradually filling one of the most complex aromatic bouquets.

Rich mouth, full-bodied, with moderate acidity that balances the creamy texture. The dried peach insists on the palate and a lovely wood and tobacco feeling remains in the long finish.
