Novus Climax Red

Red Dry Wine

Varietal Composition: Mavrodafni 40%, Mavrotragano 35%, Agiorgitiko 25%.

Characteristics: Deep ruby ​​color with purple hues. Mavrodafni has the first word with the aromas of dried raisin and plum, while Mavrotragano follows with ripe red fruits and spices. Finally, the presence of Agiorgitikos is subtle giving a beautiful finish with notes of sour cherry. Rich mouth with length and well-crafted tannins, which blend harmoniously with the touch of the barrel.

Vinification/Aging: The three varieties are harvested on different dates and vinified separately in small vintners. The percentage of grapes to be vinified without destemming is decided for each one, followed by a few days of cryoextraction before the start of alcoholic fermentation, which takes place at a temperature of 22°C to 25°C depending on the variety and the stage of the winemaking process. A post-fermentation extraction of 7-10 days follows, at the end of which only the free-flowing juice and mild pressures are collected. After the required taste tests, the blend is decided, which is then taken to new French oak barrels, where it ages for 11 months. After bottling, the wine matures in the bottle for 7-8 months before being released.
