LIMNIO DRY RED WINE P.D.O 750ML

Limnio Dry Red Wine P.D.O.

A Taste of History and Tradition- an exceptional offering from Limnos Wines, a cooperative winery dedicated to preserving the island's deep-rooted winemaking traditions and showcasing its ancient grape varieties. Limnio (known to locals as Kalampaki) a red grape native to Limnos, is one of Greece’s oldest and most renowned varieties, celebrated by both Aristotle and Homer for its unique character and ability to thrive in the island’s volcanic soils.

This wine is a true expression of Limnos’ terroir, where the Aegean breeze and the island’s unique microclimate create a red wine of remarkable depth, complexity, and authenticity.

As a Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) wine, Limnio Dry Red Wine is crafted with great care and respect for the island’s winemaking heritage. The Limnio grapes are hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness and vinified using a blend of traditional and modern techniques. The result is a wine that perfectly encapsulates the full potential of this ancient variety. Its deep ruby-red hue invites exploration, releasing complex aromas of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, alongside subtle herbal notes, spices, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it delivers bold flavours of dark berries, black cherries, and a hint of pepper, with a touch of oak from careful barrel aging.

This medium to full-bodied wine boasts a well-structured profile with smooth tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Its refreshing acidity balances the richness of the fruit, making it incredibly versatile for food pairings.

Perfect Food Pairings
Limnio Dry Red Wine is an ideal companion to a wide range of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, especially lamb and beef, enhancing the savory depth of the dishes with its fruity and spicy complexity. The wine also complements Mediterranean favourites like roasted vegetables, moussaka, and hearty stews infused with herbs like oregano and thyme. Cheese lovers will appreciate its synergy with hard, aged Greek cheeses such as Graviera and Kefalotyri, whose sharpness highlights the wine’s robust flavours. It's also a perfect match for a charcuterie board, offering a delightful balance with cured meats, olives, and rich spreads.
