Evangelo is a red dry wine blend of Syrah and Viognier varieties, with dark red color. On the nose we detect aromas of red and black fruits combined with hints of oak, tobacco, dark chocolate. On the palate we found soft tannins, smooth acidity and a good structure on the flavor which follows the aromas of the nose. Evangelo will pair with game birds and poultry in red wine sauces. You could pair it with BBQ, particularly with grilled chicken and pork.

Located in Epanomi in Thessaloniki, Ktima Gerovassiliou cultivates the privately owned vineyard of 72 hectares with special care and love. Their goal is to produce quality wines. They make excellent use of the soil and climate of the area. Epanomi is an area surrounded by sea, with a Mediterranean climate and a land rich in marine fossils. The first winemaking took place in 1986 at the modern winery located in the vineyard. The wine production area is especially designed for receiving the grapes straight after the harvest. Evangelo is a red dry wine blend of Syrah and Viognier. The fermentation is induced simultaneously for both varieties in 40 hectoliters Burgundian oak tanks. One of the benefits of adding Viognier is the process of co-pigmentation, which stabilizes the coloring of red wine. In addition to its softening qualities, it also adds a stabilizing agent and enhanced aroma to the wine. After malolactic fermentation in the same tanks, the wine is aged in French oak barrels.
