In het glas diep robijn rood gekleurd met rijke aroma’s van rijp donker fruit, kers en zwarte bes, koffie en zwarte chocolade met kruidige toetsen die harmonieus versmolten zijn met de vanille van het eiken vat.
De smaak is vol, romig en rijk. Lange afdronk met rijpe en zijde zachte tannines.
De wijn heeft 5 maanden gerijpt in Frans- en Amerikaans eiken.
De wijnmaker schrijft:
This red wine aged, based on a blend that combines the spicy scherzo of KOTSIFALI and the strict power of Cabernet. It is known for its vivid colour and aroma of mature fruits and herbs set against the subtle vanilla of the oak barrel. Soft and juicy in taste, with ‘round tannins’ and a rich, aromatic finish.

"De wijnmaker, Stelios Zacharioudakis"
Until 2009 he was an active journalist. Indeed in 1994, publishes his own newspaper, called «Antilalos of Messara”. Until today he remains a journalist, from the post of the publisher, but his heart has been stolen by another love … The “gift of the gods to humans” – the wine!
As he says “Since 2009 Domaine Zacharioudakis has been completed and presented to wine lovers, journalism passed to the backseat and today I declare that I’m ‘an active’ winemaker …»
Stelios Zacharioudakis is the founder of “Domaine Zacharioudakis” in the village Plouti and he claims that there never came to a dilemma about selecting the location, since in Plouti his grandfather and his father cultivated their land. As he says with pride, “I think I responded to the call of oenoforos this earth to once again offer the wine.”
His oppinion about the cultivation and production of wine reveals his philosophy “In the family Zacharioudakis we want our passion and -our taste- to be recognized in every single glass of wine. We want the one who drinks the wine to feel the energy and the scents of Cretan nature and taste this ancient connection of our land with the wine. “
Companions on his journey, a fact that makes him proud is his wife Victoria and his four sons, Andreas, Manolis, Nicholas and Alexandros, who love what he did. “And for everyone in the family, the Domaine is a reference point for a course to the future-as we all dream of it in the divine world of wine.
