Cyrus One

Cyrus One was born from the idea to marry two beautiful terroirs. Two different worlds. The ancient Nemea, in the Peloponnese, with its wonderful Agiorgitiko variety, where for centuries its land with its silt and lime soils offer their freshness and fruity style. Then the newer terroir on the slopes of Achinos, Central Greece bordered by the sea where the Merlot and Cabernet Franc varieties excel in the limestone soil. This provides the wonderful balance in this unusual blend.

Tasting Notes

Deep purple in color with a violet rim. Nose offers intense raspberry aromas, notes of blackcurrant bud, perfectly combined with spices of wood (vanilla, toasted aromas). With a smooth texture and a medium body structure, Cyrus One 2021 is a pleasing wine that is both suitable for current consumption and possesses the capacity for aging.
