Description
Kompsos Red is made by using 100% Liatiko grapes. Liatiko is an indigenous to Crete
variety which is characterised by its light red color, rich alcohol and when vinified properly
gentle tannins. Kompsos is a fresh elegant red, vinified mostly in stainless steel tanks to
preserve vibrancy, and just 10% of the wine is fermented for 12 days in open top barrels to
bring some oak sweetness in the wine. The Vineyards are located in 450 meters altitude
with lots of northern winds which enables us to keep acidity and freshness. The vines are
more than 17 years old . The wine remains in tanks for about 6 months and then bottled .

Liatiko, the hidden gem of Crete. Light red color, typical for Liatiko wines, hides an
explossion of cherries, wrapped in a pleasant cinamon and vanilla blend of aromas. When
tasted a fruity yet firm flavor is noted with lots of bright red raspberry fruit and just a touch
of oak is making this wine so approachable and charming. This ia a very versatile red and
can be enjoyed even a bit chilled. Would pair perfectly with a cheese platter, light poultry,
or red sauce seafood pasta. Salmon is also paired really well with Kompsos Red
