Oenogenesis, Drama PGI (Macedonia, Greece) 2010

Aug 2, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 Oenogenesis launched its winemaking in Drama in East Macedonia in 2006, a region that has gained significant recognition in only a few decades due to its high-quality wines.  The 2010 Oenogenesis En Oeno Dry Red Wine references the Ancient Greek proverb “En Oeno Alethea,” which means “In wine, there is truth.”  En Oeno is a straightforward dry red made with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.  It’s an auspicious blend, with the graceful Merlot combining well with the more tannic Cabernet.  The Cabernet Franc gives a slightly herbal touch that mingles with generous dark fruit and oak spice undertones that culminate in a prolonged finish.
