Mega Spileo – Cuvée III – red

Mega Spileo Cuvée III Red – power and finesse from the Peloponnese

Cuvée III Red is a powerful, elegant red wine from the historic house Mega Spileo, set in the mountains of the northern Peloponnese. This modern blend shows perfectly how tradition and innovation reinforce one another in Greek winemaking.

Grapes & origin
An expressive blend of 40% Mavrodaphne, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Agiorgitiko from high mountain vineyards in the Aigialeia region. The cool microclimate gives slow ripening and preserves freshness and aroma.

Vinification
Each variety is vinified separately and then ages for 12 months in French oak barrels. Careful blending and bottle ageing follow, for extra balance and complexity.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red in the glass. Rich aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, herbs, chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Full and round on the palate, with soft tannins, good structure and a long, elegant finish.

Serving tips
Serve at 16–18 °C. Excellent with grilled red meat, game, stews or matured cheeses. Also delicious with a piece of dark chocolate after the meal.

Cellaring
Ready to drink, but can age and evolve for another 5 to 7 years in bottle.
