About this wine

Domaine Papagiannakos Erythos is a supple, fruit-driven red wine that brings together Greece's celebrated Agiorgitiko grape with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon . The result is a wine of genuine character, combining Mediterranean warmth with freshness and an approachable, food-friendly style. Meet the Producer Founded in 1919, Domaine Papagiannakos is one of Attica's most respected estates, situated in the Mesogaia plain just 30km from Athens. Now in its third generation, the family combines a deep respect for authentic Greek varieties with a modern, precision-led approach to winemaking, producing wines that are both terroir-driven and consistently excellent. Vineyard and Production The blend draws on old vines grown on clay soils in gently sloping vineyards at around 300m altitude. After a 5-day cold soak, fermentation lasts 15 days at controlled temperatures, with each variety vinified separately before blending. The wine then spends 6 months in new French oak barrels, adding structure and complexity while preserving the vibrant fruit at its core. Tasting Notes Aromas of ripe black and red fruits open the nose, with cassis and bramble richness leading to a finely structured, approachable palate. Silky tannins, subtle savoury notes, and a hint of liquorice on the finish are lifted by well-integrated oak. Grape Variety Agiorgitiko, Cabernet Sauvignon Perfect Pairings A versatile table wine, excellent with grilled lamb, slow-roasted beef, lamb-stuffed peppers, moussaka, or a hearty mezze spread. About the Region Attica is one of Greece's most historic wine regions, producing wines of real distinction from indigenous varieties with centuries of heritage.
