Tabouri Rare Earths, Strofilia 750ml

Tabouri is a red dry wine with a deep purple color and violet hues. It has aromas of red fruit, fresh herbs (basil), strawberry jam, cherry, cassis, dried apple, tobacco, cinnamon and chocolate. In the mouth the fruity elements are dominant along with flavors of tea leaves, lavender and violet, embraced by the round tannins and a pleasant acidity. The aftertaste is long and satisfying. It is the perfect combination for pasta with red sauces, mushroom risotto, winged game and also dishes with salmon or tuna.

Strofilia is one of the most historic wineries in Greece. Its journey begins in 1980 with the two friends, Yiannis Maltezos and Achilleas Lampsidis, taking over the family estate of Yiannis that had been left fallow since its destruction due to phylloxera in 1956. After 2 years, they made their first wines at the winepress of Maltezos family. They gave the name “Strofilia” to their wines from the traditional hand-operated wine press that existed there. The “Rare Earths” is the premium series of the winery and includes high quality wines in limited bottles.  For Tabouri, grapes are collected from Asprokampos. The wine matures in French oak barrels for 12 months.
