Variety | Merlot
€10.00
Indulge in Michailos, an single-variety Merlot crafted by Fournarakis Winery in Episkopi, Heraklion. This exceptional red wine beautifully captures the warmth of the Cretan sun and the unique limestone terroir of our vineyards, turning the world-renowned Merlot grape into an authentic local masterpiece.
Michailos pours a deep, seductive ruby-red color. On the nose, it reveals a rich bouquet of ripe red berries, sweet plums, and dark cherries, elegantly framed by subtle hints of sweet spices and vanilla from its careful maturation. On the palate, it is incredibly smooth and round, featuring plush, velvety tannins, a balanced body, and a long, warm finish.
Food Pairing: Perfectly pairs with juicy grilled steaks, slow-cooked beef stews, rich pasta with red meat sauces, or aged Cretan cheeses like Graviera.
Appearance: Deep ruby-red with brilliant clarity and rich legs in the glass.
Nose: Expressive and forward aromatics of black plum, sour cherry, subtle baking spices, and a hint of earthy cocoa.
Palate: Fleshy and smooth entry with soft, rounded tannins and balanced acidity. Generous fruit flavors coat the palate, leading to a smooth, satisfying aftertaste. [1, 2]
