Exploring Manousakis Wine: Syrah
Have you heard of Manousakis Wines?
Step into the world of Greek winemaking excellence with Manousakis Winery's Syrah, a testament to Crete's rich viticultural heritage and the dedication of the Manousakis family to producing exceptional wines. Nestled in the heart of Crete, Manousakis Winery combines traditional methods with modern innovation to craft wines that reflect the island's unique terroir and climate.
The Terroir of Crete
Crete, Greece's largest island, offers a diverse landscape that includes mountains, valleys, and a coastline kissed by the Mediterranean Sea. The Manousakis vineyards benefit from this varied terroir, with Syrah grapes thriving under the Mediterranean sun. The combination of altitude, soil composition, and coastal influence imparts distinctive characteristics to the grapes, resulting in wines that are robust yet elegant.
Crafting Syrah at Manousakis Winery
The Syrah varietal cultivated at Manousakis Winery is a testament to the family's commitment to quality and tradition. The grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness to ensure the expression of their full flavour potential. The winemaking process involves meticulous attention to detail, with fermentation and aging tailored to preserve the unique characteristics of the Syrah grapes.
Tasting Notes
Manousakis Syrah delights the palate with its bold flavours and refined structure. Expect aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of spice, complemented by subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins, offering a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and savoury complexity. The finish is long-lasting, leaving a lingering impression of Crete's terroir.
Pairing Recommendations
This Syrah pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including grilled lamb chops, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Its robust character and balanced acidity make it a versatile choice for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions.
