Cuvée III Red 2019 PGI Achaia |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
MEGA SPILEO |
NEW in Vintages. This creative blend of 40% Mavrodaphne, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Agiorgitiko has an extremely deep intense purple colour. It has an intense, fairly complex, cassis-plum-black-cherry nose with some some faintly peppery, cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, still youthful, intense, plum-cherry-cassis fruit flavours with a fine mid-palate and a lingering, still somewhat grippy, crisp, red-pepper-tinged finish. Great in a large Riedel 001 glass and well suited for a rib steak. It has 13% alcohol and according to the LCBO 12 g/L residual sugar with lot number L22035 on the back label. Great value - it will improve with age. |

TASTING NOTE: From a high-altitude (800 metres) vineyard in the northern Peloponnese region, this wine is a blend of 40% Mavrodaphne, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Agiorgitiko. It promises intense red and black fruits, sweet spices, a touch of graphite, velvety texture and a long, smoky finish. Savour through 2025 with grilled beef or lamb. |
