2019 Diamanoptera Red, Diamantakis, Crete, Greece

Diamantopetra Red is a combination of two charming, distinctive red grape varieties. The Cretan Mandilari offers the strength, tannins and the acidity while the international and distinguished Syrah brings in richness and firmness of the wine. 

Ruby red colour with purple hues in the glass. Ripe red fruits dominate the nose with cherry, plum, blackberry stealing the show. Violet, crushed black pepper seeds form a rich and complex aromatic profile. Noticeable, rounded tannins, charming acidity, with a pleasant aftertaste leaves a sweet, spicy sensation in the mouth.

The love and passion of Diamantakis family for high quality wine, their long tradition in viticulture and the 70 acres of private owned land, was the motivation to create a small winery in the area. The grape varieties cultivated are Greek, local and international. During the spring 2010, other 25 acres of land are planted and arranged in terraces.
