Greek whites and reds are currently experiencing a seismic revolution in quality, style and precision viticulture in a similar way that South Africa did in the late noughties during the Swartland Revolution. Led by a bold and worldly group of Greek young gun winemakers, the quality of wines being produced today is almost unrecognizable compared to what went before. The Diamantakis Winery, founded in 2007, is located southwest of the city of Heraklion, outside the village of Kato Assites in the c
A captivating Syrah with perfumed notes of violets, rose petals, and black currant jam, complemented by hints of cured meats, kalamata olives, and smoky undertones.

Soft black fruits, refined tannins, and a velvety mouthfeel make this a sophisticated, savory expression of the Syrah grape.

The Prinos Syrah 2020 is a thoroughly enticing expression that shows expressive perfumed aromatics of earthy violets, pressed rose petals, burnt wood embers, cured meats, black currant jam, sweet black peppercorns, kalamata olives and freshly smoked cigars.

This is a fabulous, high-class expression of Syrah that draws on all the very finest features of this seductive, savoury grape variety to deliver a wine packed with soft fleshy black fruits, mineral tannins and a long, juicy, velvety mouthfeel.
