Loggia Mandilaria, Sitia, Crete, 2021 PGI Organic

Loggia Mandilaria 2021 is crafted from the Mandilaria grape, a variety that thrives in the Greek islands, particularly in Crete. Known for its deep colour and robust tannic qualities, Mandilaria is often challenging to vinify as a single varietal due to its naturally low alcohol content. However, the 2021 vintage of this wine achieves a remarkable balance, highlighting the grape's intense berry flavours while tempering its tannins for a smoother finish. This wine is carefully cultivated and produced in Crete, with an emphasis on preserving the bold character of the Mandilaria grape.
