Samartzis Two rivers merlot/mouhtaro 2021

From Samartzis Two Rivers in Greece, this dry red wine blends Merlot and Mouhtaro from the 2021 vintage. Merlot is a widely grown red grape valued for its soft, supple texture and approachable plum and black-cherry fruit, making it one of the most easy-drinking reds. It's joined by Mouhtaro — a rare red grape from central Greece giving aromatic, spicy, medium-bodied wines. Greece has been making wine for thousands of years, and its sun-drenched hills and breezy islands grow native grapes you simply won't find anywhere else. It's a friendly all-rounder — lovely with roast chicken, pork, mushroomy dishes or a bowl of tomatoey pasta. Serve it at cool room temperature.
