Tasting of the most eloquently smokey Cabernet Sauvignon, our Kapnias Red wine is collected only from the best grapes from the vineyard Zygos (450 meters altitude). With a high concentration in flavor and high acidity, this wine is also aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, resulting in an elegant, complex, flavorful, and full-bodied wine. Its aging potential goes up to 20-30 years making it also a one-of-a-kind choice.

Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Atalanti Valley

Classic red vinification followed by maturation under controlled temperature, for 24 months in new French oak barriques and for at least 12 months in the bottle.

From 3 hectares of the selected single vineyard ‘Zygos’ with an altitude of 350- 400m, the average age of vines 35 years, and very low yield (33kg/ha), part of the privately owned vineyard of Domaine Hatzimichalis in Atalanti valley. 

Nose
Pronounced intense aromas. Ripe fruits, black cherry, blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, smoke, wet wood, violet, fig, cedar, and vanilla.

Palate
The oak is quite dominant but is balanced by the fruity character and spices creating a plethora of flavors in your palate. This balanced and complex wine is also high in tannins, which combination creates a wonderful aftertaste as well. Its aging potential gives the wine many potential tertiary aromas, including plum, tobacco, mushrooms, and coffee.
