Shiraz-Lefkada Vertical Tasting 23 February
Join Us for a Special Tasting Event
If you’re a fan of rich, mature red wines, we invite you to a unique tasting experience on Sunday, February 23rd, from 11:00-13:00 hrs. Our winemaker will guide you through six exceptional vintages of Shiraz–Lefkada, our flagship red wine, first produced in 2006. This blend, created by our Founder Akis Zambartas, marking the beginning of our winery’s winemaking journey.
Akis worked with Shiraz for many years in the 1980s as the chief winemaker at KEO Winery in Mallia, and he was captivated by the variety’s potential. In blending it with Lefkada, a rare indigenous Cypriot grape, he created a wine with remarkable fruit concentration, multilayered complexity, and the potential for long aging—pioneering a new wave in Cypriot winemaking.
Realizing the importance of maintaining high-quality grapes, Akis planted the first ever Lefkada vineyard in Kourvellos, Agios Amvrosios, in the Krasochoria region. The vineyard, which still provides 100% of the Lefkada grapes for the blend, was replanted in 2015, continuing the legacy of this exceptional wine.
After the tasting, unwind with additional wine and enjoy a cheese and charcuterie platter to complement your experience.
A limited selection of older vintages will also be available for purchase during the event, with prices ranging from €17– €45
