Description
Grape Type: 85% Mavro, 10% Xynisteri, 5% other indigenous varieties (including Maratheftiko, Yiannoudi, Kanella and Ofthalmo)- Organically Certified Agios Nikolaos Vineyard.
Vinification: Single Vineyard Margelina is a field blend led by Mavro and grown at 950m in Agios Nikolaos. Fermented with indigenous yeasts using the pied de cuvée method in stainless steel and then aged for six months in used oak, it’s a medium-bodied red with plenty of depth. With only around 900 bottles produced, it’s a small, characterful expression of Cyprus’ native varieties.
Tasting notes: A delicate mix of cherries, strawberries, blackcurrants, red pepper, liquorice and preserved red fruit.
Food pairing: Perfect for traditional meze but also with salmon, hard cheese and roasted vegetable dishes.
