Lantides Estate, established in 1993 by Lantides Panikos, has worked diligently to promote and revitalize Greek wines on the global stage since its inception. Through a steadfast commitment to high-quality production, they showcase the unique indigenous varietals that have thrived in Greece for centuries. Situated in Nemea, the estate benefits from a climate and soil perfectly suited for cultivating a diverse range of local varietals, alongside the production of select international varieties. Starting with only 20 acres under vine, the winery's production has steadily grown and today spans 170 acres of its own vineyards while working in collaboration with an additional 50 acres.
Crafted from Assyrtiko grapes grown in high-altitude vineyards in Argolida, this complex and aged wine is a true expression of the region. Aged in oak barrels for 8 months, it exudes rich and tense flavours. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with vibrant notes of citrus and stone fruits, intricately combined with hints of vanilla and sweet spices from the oak. The mouthfeel is rich and full, with a perfect balance of acidity, culminating in a flavourful and lingering aftertaste.
This is a gastronomic wine which will elevate rich seafood & meat-based dishes such as pan-seared scallops with creamy risotto or slow-roasted lamb shoulder with garlic and rosemary.
