LA REINE DES MONTAGNES NOIRE 750ml

he ‘La Reine des Montagnes Noire’ is a fascinating and highly individual expression of the rare Mavro Kalavrytino grape. It presents a hauntingly beautiful aromatic profile, characterized by high-toned red fruits like wild raspberries and cranberries, intertwined with elegant floral notes of rose and violet, and a distinctive ‘forest floor’ earthiness. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly agile despite its concentration; it possesses a medium body with vibrant acidity and fine, silky tannins that provide a sophisticated structure. Unlike its more muscular ‘King’ (the Syrah), the Queen is defined by its ethereal elegance, nuanced spice, and exceptional balance. It is a graceful, complex red that showcases the incredible potential of Greece’s indigenous mountain varieties.
