La Tour Melas
€111,60
La Tour Melas by La Tour Melas is the estate’s flagship red wine, a wine with a clear Bordeaux-style approach but a Greek place and character. It is made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot, two varieties that in Achinos, Fthiotida, give depth, finesse and ripe, well-crafted intensity.
Vinification focuses on balance and detail, so that the wine has structure without harshness and richness without excess. Cabernet Franc brings aromatic intensity, freshness and herbal elegance, while Merlot adds roundness, black fruit and a more velvety texture.
In the glass, it brings black cherry, plum, cassis, blackberry, violet, smoke, spices, liquorice and subtle oak. On the palate, it is rich, layered and balanced, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, elegant finish.
With a little aeration, it opens up even more, revealing earthier, smoky and spicy notes. It is a red wine that drinks beautifully now next to the right food, but also has serious potential to evolve in the bottle.
It pairs very well with rib-eye, fillet steak, beef bourguignon, lamb, game, mushrooms, truffle dishes, slow-cooked meats, rich red sauces and mature cheeses. It is a wine for anyone looking for a Greek red with premium character, depth and elegance, without unnecessary showiness.
