Zambartas Shiraz -Lefkada

This blend is a founder’s blend, reflecting Akis Zambartas’ long-standing admiration for Lefkada, a variety he particularly valued for its character and depth. Although Lefkada is often considered an indigenous Cypriot variety, it actually originates from Greece, where it is known as Vertzami. First brought to Cyprus in 1957, it now accounts for 1.2% of the grapes grown on the island. Shiraz, by comparison, represents 4.5%, making it the fourth most widely planted grape variety in Cyprus.

– Complex, full bodied, medium tannins –

Description

Grape type: 80% Shiraz and 20% Lefkada- Agios Amvrosios and Pachna

Vinification: This wine is a bold blend of Shiraz and Lefkada, some of which is grown just 1 km from our winery. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for a year in a mix of new, second use and third use oak, it’s a full bodied wine with silky tannins, layered dark fruit, and subtle spice. This wine can age gracefully for 8–10 years, revealing new layers with time spent in the bottle.

Tasting notes: A powerful wine with world class weigh and complexity. This wine has blackberries, vanilla, sweet spices and cardamom with a subtle smoky depth. 

Food pairing: Pairs very nicely with a range of dishes including red meats, pasta with truffle, roasted game and traditional moussaka.
