Planet Romeiko Limited Edition Sweet Wine 375ml
Manousakis Winery- Planet Romeiko First Edition
Over the millennia the Lefka Ori Mountains of Western Crete have absorbed the quiet life cycle for thousands of the island’s native flora. When you walk these mountains in the spring it takes you on a sensory adventure filled with the scents of rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender, and chamomile. In the fall, they descend back to the soil and are absorbed and thus the quiet life cycle continues.
The winery is the realization of Ted Manousakis' dream. It began in 1984, when the hills around the village of Vatolakkos were still untouched by civilization and the wild herbs of Crete were abundant and fragrant. The philosophy at the Manousakis Winery is simple they believe in carefully and organically cultivating their vines to absorb this scent-filled terroir. This allows the flavors of the grapes combine with the herbs for an incomparable taste. Each bottle of their Wine captures the character of this island, and the slopes of the Lefka Ori.
Introducing Planet Romeiko, a bold and distinctive Greek spirit that celebrates one of Crete’s most historic indigenous grape varieties. Crafted with character, depth, and a modern edge, Planet Romeiko showcases the rich heritage of the Romeiko grape in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary.
Planet Romeiko is a truly unique Cretan wine crafted from the historic Romeiko grape variety, native to Western Crete and deeply connected to the island’s winemaking history dating back centuries. Produced by Manousakis Winery, this wine showcases a modern interpretation of one of Greece’s rarest indigenous varieties.
Made from organically grown Romeiko grapes in Crete’s sun-drenched vineyards, Planet Romeiko is a sweet, oxidative-style wine with remarkable depth and complexity. The grapes are carefully sun-dried to concentrate their sugars and flavours before fermentation and ageing, creating a beautifully layered dessert wine experience.
Expect rich notes of:
- Dried fruits
- Honey and toffee
- Orange peel and bergamot
- Marmalade and spoon sweets
- Subtle nutty, oxidative complexity
Beautifully balanced between sweetness and acidity, Planet Romeiko offers a silky texture with a lingering finish that makes it perfect as a digestif or paired with desserts like baklava, kataifi, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate.
The Romeiko grape itself is one of Crete’s oldest surviving native varieties, traditionally used in rustic wines from Chania. Today, innovative producers are reviving it and transforming it into something refined, modern, and truly memorable.
Expect a beautifully balanced profile with vibrant aromas, smooth texture, and layers of flavour that make it perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as the base for elevated cocktails. A true conversation starter for lovers of unique Mediterranean spirits and boutique Greek craftsmanship.
Enjoy this wine with a grazing board full cheese, charcuterie, Greek olives, fig pie and bite-sized artisan delicacies.
