Manousakis Winery, Crete (Greece) 2015

Feb 16, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 The Manousakis Winery cultivates grapes of the Rhône varieties, like this Nostos blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre.  The Grenache contributes raspberry, strawberry, and cherry flavors, while Syrah lends to the vibrant color, tannic lift, and black pepper.  The Mourvèdre adds richness to the palate and lengthens the finish. It’s polished, luxurious, and layered with silky, high-toned fruit that dances across your palate.  Another reason to love Manousakis Winery, beyond their charming wines, is that they donate part of their proceeds to a local school that helps children with disabilities.
