Merlot - Cab. Sauvignon 2016 - Adam Wines

Producer: Adam Wines
Varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Μακεδονία

The relatively cool climate in the area of Adam allows Merlot grapes to ripen well while they retain their varietal character of red fruit aromas and soft but distinctive tannins. The combination of organic farming and low yields ensures the production of grapes of good quality, which are hand-picked and rigorously selected. At the winery, the grapes are only slightly pressed and kept for a short period of skin contact at a temperature of 10-12 oC, in order to take more color and better quality of aromas. After the end of fermentation the wine stays on its lees for 6 months with gentle stirring, maturing in total for 12 months in Allier and Tronçais barriques, one third of which are new. It is then blended with a quantity of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is cultivated and vinified using the same process. The result is a wine with powerful aromas and a rich texture.

Adam Wines

We are a small boutique winery in Thessaloniki. The vineyard is privately owned, at an altitude of 250 meters, 45 kilometers southeast of Thessaloniki in the area of ​​Ancient Calidonia, between Chortiatis and Holomontas.
We started the vineyard from scratch, in 2002, with our first production being releashed in 2009. We only produce grapes from our own organic vineyards.
We are small and will remain small (30,000–40,000 bottles for all 4 of our labels).
Quality is above all, and that is why we focus on small yield harvests.

We have two reds, the famous Refosco and a Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend (70% -30%). Our barrels are made of French oak, medium toasted, where Refosco matures in 3rd and 4th use barrels while Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon in 2nd and 3rd use. Our whites, Malaguzia and Chardonnay, are both matured in stainless steel tanks.
