Twitterweinverkostung worth 9.2 "Alexandras" 2008 - Sakis Manou

Yesterday evening there was again a team of wine lovers an on Twitter, to taste the second wine from the Greek package of 600bottles .
I must admit that I have the wines of Manousakis, and the namesake of the wine, Alexandra Manousakis, got to know already. Both anything but unpleasant. It was good what's going on yesterday and the atmosphere is also very relaxed. This is also due to the very appealing wine.

The idea of Manousakis, an emigrant to the United States Cretan family was grapes, which are found elsewhere in the Rhone region in their to cultivate native Crete. The dream was then implemented in the early 90s and is now one of the Nostos Winery to the top quality producers in Greece.

The wine is a typical Rhone blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache that was aged in new and used barrels. The many participants in Roussillon, Minversois, Languedoc or Rhone nose reminiscent entertained us with Mixed Berries dark, smoky, herbal, spicy notes and bitter chocolate. The wine has a sufficiently animated and rather acid-present tannins. In sum, it all makes pretty print, but looks, as long you do not become too warm Alexandra leaves, never broadly and intrusive. The 14% is noticeable only in the effect, not while drinking. Despite a slight 'coarseness' he runs elegantly down the throat and ends in a slightly bitter but very nice final. Hellas!

This is the gateway drug of Manousakis, which gives a first impression, which made for great wines there. I can only lay my heart each time to try the Syrah, which is really awesome stuff!

two really good wines that we could try here from Greece, which have removed many prejudices from the world and leave you wanting more Greek wine. Also, above all because of the good Price - performance ratio.

Antioch!

Twitterweinverkostung worth # 9.1 'White Anemos' 2008 - # Palivou

The Twitter wine tasting this month halt in Greece. I must admit that my previous experience with Greek wines are very straightforward, and were not really impressive and sustainable.
But what I pride at the booth of Mark, aka ' elloinos ', was allowed to try on this year's wine salon, has convinced me more than. So I was very glad we have him for the TWV #.
the dates fall, unfortunately, a little inconvenient in the World Cup - month. That is why I have the time trying to move forward one hour, but unfortunately not all have noticed. There were then but still a Mitverkoster enough to the White Anemos to sample extensively.
detailed information about the winery and the grape variety Roditis can be found on the blog of Direttore and Blogggwarts . I think it's extremely cool of blasting through boulders to put it there vines can be. As is the nature shown times where the rubber meets the road, or the explosives! Hellas!

already presented itself in the glass of the Anemos somehow Mediterranean. The strong color, light kupferstichig, and consistency make you curious. The intensely exotic fragrance I knew liked to in a moment. The Anemos we blew the flavors of apricot, mango, passion fruit, banana, ripe pear, overripe apple, pineapple and Mandrainen only way around the nose. And actually, he reminded me of this fruit cocktails which are served at a Chinese restaurant as a dessert gets pimped with a sip of brandy. In addition to the various fruit flavors, but were also vegetal, green things at the start, such as rhubarb, low Mediterranean herbs and smoked, wilted carnations. A, stimulating the imagination of wine, which accounts catalyzed so many fellow drinkers on a journey to the Caribbean. The Antrunk surprisingly refreshing went smoothly into a creamy mouth feel full until the Anemos then caused persistent, in a slightly tart - adopted mineral finish.

makes the wine is fun and also a very interesting experience. The best part is the incredible price of € 6.50. Something called a real bargain.

Because next week, Wm is still, we have the beginning of the second wine, put back on clock 19:30.
