Artemis Karamolegos Terra Nera Mandilaria Mavrotragano 2022
Aegean Islands - Santorini, The Islands, GreeceArtemis Karamolegos is one of the most dynamic wineries on the unique island of Santorini. Led by his grandfather, who started making wine and cultivating vines as a hobby in the 1950s, Artemis founded the winery in 2004. They own just over 3ha of vineyards (some over 100 years old) across Pyrgos, Megalorchori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri and Fira, and have long term contracts to farm another 5 hectares. This entry level red comes from older Mandilaria and Mavrotragano (60 years average) vines, with a short maceration before ferment in stainless for nine months, with a small proportion seeing time in oak. Bright and crunchy plum, sapid raspberry is threaded with scrubby thorns and lit with a lifted tart acidity. Tannins are slight and furry, and lead this volcanic red to a snappy, saline finish. A fresh, lighter red for your tuna tataki.Tasted: 07 December 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $33.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
