Danae - The Myth
When king of Argous received an oracle that his grandson would kill him, he decided to lock his daughter Danae in an underground prison. Zeus fell in love with Danae and transformed into golden rain in order to enter Danae’s prison, from a small crack. From their union, Perseus was born.
Tasting notes
Mature, red, dry wine, with high acidity, rich in tannins and full-bodied. Matures for a year in small oak barrels from the best French houses, followed by bottle ageing.
It has a strong aromatic intensity and some of the key aromatic characteristics are those of mature and marmalade fruit such as cherries, blackberries, strawberries, aromatic herbs and a slight note of vegetation as well as the spicy, peppery aromas of the barrel. Dense and intense flavour, a wine that combines the freshness of the red fruit and the oak- vintage character given by the barrel.
Why choose it and how to enjoy it!
