Panagiotopoulos Merlot BIO 2009
A Greek organic Merlot with 17 years in the bottle, the kind of back-vintage bottle that makes Bordeaux-obsessed friends go quiet.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Merlot from the Panagiotopoulos estate in Trifilia, Messinia, in the southwest Peloponnese, Greece, grown from organic grapes (hence BIO on the label). Merlot is an international grape, but the Peloponnese gives it a warm, sun-soaked and herbal Mediterranean accent you won't find in Pomerol.
Taste Profile: The producer describes a deep sapphire-red wine that mixes sweetness and spice, with plum and cherry, round tannins and supple vanilla, leather and herbal notes. At this age expect those fruit notes to lean more towards dried fruit and prune; a tasting of the 2008 vintage in 2017 described maturing plum and prune fruit with some herbal character and slightly austere tannins. Give it air before serving. Good with cheese, red meat and pasta.
Winemaking Process: Grapes from the estate are hand-harvested from early September to mid-October, sorted, destemmed and cold-macerated before a fermentation of about a week at 22 to 28°C, followed by 1 to 3 weeks of skin contact, followed by 24 months in oak
Winemaker: Panagiotopoulos Wines began in 1982, when Dimitris Panagiotopoulos, after years working at another winery, built his own with his viticulturist father and partners in Messinia. The winery building itself wasn't finished until 2005, and the estate farms organically at around 400 metres altitude.
