Tsantali Odyssee Thraki ggA 2015 Martini

Tsantali Odyssee Thraki ggA 2015 MartiniAs the ancient books of Homer recount, the legendary Odysseus and his companions escaped the clutches of the Cyclops Polyphemus with the assistance of the 'divine wine' crafted from the Mavroudi grape variety. In homage to this episode from Homer's Odyssey, a red wine was named after this varietal Mavroudi, hailing from Thraki on the northeastern Greek mainland. This Mavroudi red wine exhibits a rich bouquet of prunes with subtle notes of

expressive interwoven flavours of white and yellow stone fruits

along with something exotic akin to guava or even rosewater

lingering aftertaste

along with traditional juniper

This wine is a captivating blend of indigenous and international varietals

Best drunk as a young wine to take advantage of those pretty red fruits

With cellaring time it will develop more concentrated characters

subtle floral notes

along with a twist of matchstick on a fresh and persistent finish

One of their remarkable offerings is the Pündericher Marienburg Auslese

a robust yet elegant expression of Pinot Noir

it’s fresh and lively
