Opous Hatzimichali Red

Red dry

PGI Atalanti Valley

Type: Red, dry wine

Varieties: 100% Cabernet Franc

Origin of grapes: In ancient times the wider area that is now Atalanta was known as Opuntia Locrida, or Opus in short. At Mount Galanos, our Cabernet Franc was collected at low yields. Irrigation system is not used in this vineyard in order to increase the concentration in the grapes, hence its quality. This variety matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, and the wine produced is known as Opus l '.

Winemaking: Classic red winemaking. This is followed, under controlled conditions, by aging in our underground cellars for 24 months in new 228 lt French oak barrels and for at least 12 months in the bottle.

Alcohol content: 14% Vol

Aging dynamics: Enjoy it for another 25-30 years from its harvest.

Tasting characteristics: Aromatic character. Layered aromatic set with light red fruits, tomato leaves and light earthy notes that blend harmoniously with the spices, cedar, vanilla and tobacco. The dense aromas of red fruits and vegetables make their presence felt in the mouth along with the dried fruits, mainly raisins. The soft tannins, the complexity, the full body and the long aftertaste make it a dynamic wine.

Harmony - Serving temperature: Enjoy it with fine dishes. The roast lamb in the oven is undoubtedly its ideal companion. Try it with grilled meats, game and semi-hard cheeses. Enjoy it at 15-18 .C
