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

It has a strong aromatic intensity and some of the key aromatic characteristics are those of small red fruits (strawberry and crisp cherry), aromatic herbs as well as the spicy, peppery aromas of the barrel. Dense and intense flavour, a wine with a special character. 

Why choose it and how to enjoy it!
