Domaine Zafeirakis — Limniona rot 2020

Ktima Zafeirakis Limniona 2020, a 100% Limniona red from PGI Tyrnavos in Thessaly, made from older vines. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in large-format 1200-litre and 2400-litre barrels. This wine shows more tannins than one might expect, initially restrained on the nose and palate but evolving beautifully with time in the glass, revealing continuously developing aromas. It's a wine that rewards patience and demonstrates the serious potential of the Limniona grape beyond its increasingly celebrated rosé expressions. Zafeirakis is one of the key producers championing this indigenous Thessalian variety, and their wines are available in Germany through The Winehouse Germany. An excellent wine that earns 92 points.
