Erythrós

2013 Greece Merlot

The Alexandros Megapanos Erythrós is a stunning expression of Merlot from Greece, showcasing the unique character of its Mediterranean terroir. This red wine presents a rich and full-bodied profile, enveloping the palate with its luscious texture and harmonious depth. The acidity dances delicately, adding a bright lift to its overall character, while the fruit intensity bursts forth, revealing ripe blackcurrant and subtle hints of plum. Tannins are present but refined, providing a structured foundation that supports the wine's velvety finish. With a dryness that leans towards the off-dry spectrum, this vintage from 2013 is not only approachable but also carries a certain sophistication, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions.

Greece

One of the most historic wine-producing countries, Greece is a cradle of modern wine culture. While today its wines do not enjoy the same reputation as some of its other European neighbors, Greece and its unique indigenous grape varieties are enjoying a Renaissance. White wine drinkers will love the floral Debina and peachy Malagousia from the cooler, wetter north of the country. Or head down to the sun-kissed Aegean islands for spellbinding Assyrtiko, with flavors ranging from passionfruit and mineral to oak and pineapple. For red wine lovers, southern Greece grows the herbaceous Agiorgitiko, while the sublime Xinomavro of the north—often referred to as "Greece's Barolo"—offers dark cherry and licorice notes.
