Product Notes

Ktima Gerovassiliou Avaton PGI Epanomi is a stunning Greek red wine exhibiting a unique blend of indigenous grape varieties. It emanates from Epanomi vineyards, Greece's peninsula renowned for winemaking. The Avaton’s deep ruby hue is visually appealing, complemented by a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, sun-dried tomatoes and spices. The wine excels in both its balance and body, demonstrating a fitting harmony between acidity and tannins. Underlying hints of oak from the maturation process lend it a distinctive character. The finish is long and rewarding, making Ktima Gerovassiliou Avaton PGI Epanomi a truly delectable wine for the discerning palate.

Tasting Notes

A luscious blend of three Greek indigenous varietals, where ripe dark fruits combine with notes of raisin, coffee, cacao and a hint of spice. Perfumed and polished, this smooth, medium bodied wine delivers sweet and sour notes of black plum, with depth and spice leading to a dry finish. Totally unique.
