Wild Rooster

2021 Peloponnese Cabernet Sauvignon

Aivalis Winery's Wild Rooster is a captivating Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Peloponnese region, showcasing the Mediterranean's unique terroir. This red wine boasts a full-bodied structure that provides a delightful richness on the palate, complemented by a bright acidity that enlivens each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe blackcurrant and dark cherries, harmonizing beautifully with subtle undertones of spice and earthiness. Tannins are smooth and well-integrated, lending a pleasant firmness to the wine without overpowering its fruit-forward character. This vintage of 2021 presents a beautifully balanced wine that is both robust and approachable, making it an ideal companion for hearty meals or a cozy evening by the fire. A true representation of Greek winemaking, the Wild Rooster is an experience not to be missed.

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.
