Description

Tsantali Winery from the Rapsani district of Greece creates this red from equal proportions of xinomavro, stavroto and krassato grapes. Possessing aromas of earthy black fruits and a hint of vanilla, the flavours play on with ripe fruit and sweet spice notes. The finish is savoury and lasting. Serve with grilled steak.

Tasting Notes

Rapsani Grande Reserve is vinified with equal proportions of hand picked Xinomavro, Stavroto and Krassato grapes. Xinomavro contributes high acidity, tannins and colour, while Stavroto adds structure and balance and Krassato adds some spice and floral aromas. Rapsani Grande Reserve has a deep red colour with tawny hues, the nose is dominated by vegetal and earthy aromas with ripe black fruit and vanilla on the background. The palate is dry, rich in robust tannins with acidity that balances the ripe fruit and the sweet spices. The oak is well integrated and the wine has a long and complex finish. This is a wine with great ageing potential evolving the depth of its character.
