V A R I E T Y
A red landmark variety of the
Cretan Vineyard. This variety
determines the character of
many of the dry red wines in
this notable wine-producing
region of the Southern Aegean.
It is distinguished by its gentle
character, which is laden
with the aroma of plum.
The fleshy Kotsifali grape,
which is equivalent to a
Cretan Merlot, has in recent
years been increasingly used
in monovarietal vinifications.
It is also to be found in blends
with Mandilari and Syrah.

The grape is harvested by hand, between 1 and 7 September. The must undergoes a classic vinification for red wine at 16 -20°C. Maceration is then applied for 5 to 7 days. This is followed by the separation of the grape marc from the fermented wine. When the fermentation
process is completed ,the wine is decanted and the maturation process begins, lasting for four months in optimum conditions.
