Blend

85% Syrah

15% Kolindrino


Vinification

The wine is produced from grapes grown at very low yields, achieving exceptional concentration, depth and intensity of fruit. Extended maceration allows for a slow and thorough extraction of colour, tannins and phenolic compounds, contributing to the wine’s powerful structure and remarkable complexity.


Ageing

The wine is matured for 24 months in French oak barrels, with approximately 35% new oak. This prolonged ageing enhances its depth, structure and aromatic complexity, allowing the concentrated fruit, tannins and oak to integrate gradually and harmoniously.


Winemaking Philosophy

Gymnos Vasilias is conceived as a wine of remarkable concentration, richness and depth. Very low vineyard yields, extended maceration and prolonged barrel ageing shape a powerful yet balanced wine, with layers of concentrated dark fruit, subtle bittersweet nuances and distinctive notes of dark chocolate.

Its generous structure and refined tannins lead to a long, complex and persistent finish.
