Domaine Gioulis Sofos The Wise One

Red

Sofos (meaning 'wise one' in Greek) brings together international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with Greece's noble Agiorgitiko grape to create something truly distinctive. This blend represents the best of both worlds – the familiar structure of Bordeaux varieties with the Mediterranean character that only Greek terroir can provide. Domaine Gioulis cultivates their vineyards at high elevation (850 meters) in the Peloponnese, where cool nights balance warm days to create wines with both ripeness and freshness. Their commitment to organic farming and minimal intervention allows the unique character of this mountainous region to shine through. What's particularly impressive is how they've managed to create a wine that feels simultaneously familiar and exotic – recognizable dark fruit notes are complemented by distinctly Greek herbal and olive nuances. For those looking to venture beyond the usual wine regions without completely abandoning their comfort zone, this bottle offers the perfect balance of discovery and accessibility.
