Experience this amazing Opous Iv Red Wine 750ml from Domaine Hatzimichalis. In ancient times, Atalanti where the selected vineyards of the Domain are, was known as Οπουντία Λοκρίδα (pron., Opountia Lokrida), but was shortened to Ὀπούς (pron., Opous).
This is Cabernet Franc wine of limited production, with vines coming from small vineyard called Galanos with a unique microclimate, in Atalanti Valley, Central Greece, marking this wine as PGI. In Galanos vineyard, this Opous Iv Red Wine 750ml Cabernet Franc is harvested in low yields. No irrigation systems are used at this vineyard in order to increase concentration. The wine is vilified in temperature-controlled stainless steel, ageing for at least 12 months in new French oak barriques and kept in underground cellars for 36 months in the bottle. Vintage 2016.
Nose
Very pronounced on the nose. Red fruits, tomato leaves, sweet spices, cedar, vanilla and charred wood. They all add to the tertiary aromas and earthy character.
Palate
Additionally, baked fruits and vegetables make their presence on the palate, as well as dried fruits, mostly raisins. Soft tannins, full body, complexity and long aftertaste. An overall outstanding and balanced wine, ideal for ageing.
ABV: 14.5%
Pairing Suggestions
Grilled mushrooms, Small poultry, Sweet pork, Smoked steak, Light cheese, Olive
