2020 | Theopetra Estate Limniona | Meteora | Greece

A rare native Greek grape from the foot of Meteora — organic Limniona from vineyards beside a prehistoric cave.

Theopetra Estate (the Tsililis family) farms organically around the prehistoric Cave of Theopetra, at the foot of the dramatic Meteora rocks in Thessaly — a site where Paleolithic grape seeds were found. This is single-varietal Limniona, a rare indigenous Thessalian red, whole-bunch fermented and aged in French and American oak. High-acid, aromatic and genuinely distinctive.

An organic, single-varietal rare-Greek-grape red is a discovery for the curious. Native Limniona, organic, Meteora terroir → a grape you've never had → you're drinking one of Greece's most distinctive reds.
