Chania PGI

Vinorandum rated wines from Chania PGI


Chania PGI “Nostos” Syrah
Chania PGI “Nostos” Syrah
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2018
Syrah (100%)
“The meaty, smoky, spicy nose follows through to the juicy palate. Full-bodied with firm tannins, a throughline of bright acidity supports additional flavors of muddled blackberry and plum laced with tobacco, black pepper, and clove. Satisfying with a moderately long finish, drink now or in another 2-3 years.”

Chania PGI “Nostos Pink”
Chania PGI “Nostos Pink”
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2022
Grenache (40%)Romeiko (40%)Syrah (20%)
“In the vein of Provence, a delicate pink hue captures the elegance of the wine with its bright nose of citrus, raspberry, and garden herbs. Bright on the palate, a backbone of vibrant acidity frames crunchy pomegranate and spring strawberry notes. Fresh, crisp, and flavorful, it's everything you want in a Sunday afternoon garden party rosé.”

Chania PGI “Nostos” Grenache
Chania PGI “Nostos” Grenache
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2020
Grenache (100%)
“Rather than the sun-ripened exuberance of Grenache from comparably warm climates, this version takes a darker, brooding turn towards spice, black raspberry, and bramble fruit, finishing with a hint of bitterness. Full-bodied with firm acidity, allow for a few hours of decanting.”
