Vinorandum rated wines from Crete PGI


Crete PGI “Mrs Red Blend”
Crete PGI “Mrs Red Blend”
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2022
Syrah (70%)Romeiko (30%)
“Aromatics sing of cool springtime fruits, crunchy red berries, and savory forest floor. Gently rustic tannins show a slight bitter edge. Though meant for a weeknight tonic after a day of domestic chores by the “Mrs.” (according to the label?!) there’s more to this package than easygoing flavor.”
88 Lauren Mowery
Crete PGI “Nostos Alexandra's”
Crete PGI “Nostos Alexandra's”
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2018
Grenache (40%)Syrah (40%)Mourvèdre (20%)
“A feral note on the nose, both musky and earthy, speaks to the Syrah and Mourvèdre in this red blend. Vibrant red fruits from Grenache elevate the profile and lend a pinch of saline seasoning to the blood-iron core. A full-bodied, dense, unfiltered expression of Crete’s primal character.”
91 Lauren Mowery
Crete PGI “Nostos” Roussanne
Crete PGI “Nostos” Roussanne
Manousakis Winery, Crete, Greece
2022
Roussanne (100%)
“Exhilarating nose of peaches and apple blossoms leads to a silky, elegant palate of orchard fruits, Italian parsley, and citrus pith. Full-bodied with balanced alcohol and acidity, finishes just shy of long.”
91 Lauren Mowery
