Wine Varieties

Tasting of the most eloquently smokey Cabernet Sauvignon, our Kapnias Red wine is collected only from the best grapes from the vineyard Zygos (450 meters attitude). With high concentration in flavor and high acidity this wine is also aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, resulting in an elegant, complex, flavorful and full bodied wine. Its ageing potential goes up to 20-30 years making it also a one of a kind choice.

Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Atalanti Valley
Classic red vinification followed by maturation under controlled temperature, for 24 months in new French oak barriques and for at least 12 months in the bottle.
From 3 hectares of the selected single vineyard ‘Zygos’ with an altitude of 350- 400m, an average age of vines 35 years and very low yield (3300kg/ha), part of the private owned vineyard of Domaine Hatzimichalis in Atalanti valley.
Nose
Pronounced intense aromas. Ripe fruits, black cherry, blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, smoke, wet wood, violet, fig, cedar and vanilla.
Palate
The oak is quite dominant but is balanced from the fruity character and spices creating a plethora of flavours in your palate. This balanced and complex wine is also high in tannins, which combination creates a wonderful aftertaste as well. Its ageing potential gives the wine many potential tertiary aromas, including plum, tobacco, mushrooms and coffee.
