Looking to try something extraordinary this summer? Iri’s Vineyard Dry Red Wine, one of our most popular wines by the glass, surprises guests with its vibrant flavors and unique character. Step into the world of premium Greek wines and discover the taste of Kefalonia.
Why Choose Iri’s Dry Red?
Unique Grape Variety: Crafted from 100% Mavrodaphne of Kefalonia, a rare and refined clone known as Tsigello, this dry red wine offers a complex and elegant profile unlike the sweeter Mavrodaphne of Patras.
Artisanal Winemaking: Hand-picked grapes are pressed using a traditional basket press and fermented in open vats. Aged on its lees for five months, the wine is neither fined nor filtered, ensuring every bottle retains its full-bodied flavors.
Limited Edition: With just 4,000 bottles produced, each one is sealed with a natural cork, making it a true collector’s gem.
Tasting Notes
A ruby-red wine tinged with violet, bursting with aromas of sour cherry, wild mint, and a touch of spiced liquorice. On the palate, it is rich, fruity, and smooth, with soft, round tannins that make it approachable yet complex.
Food Pairings
Perfect for pairing with:
Grilled or roasted red meats
Lamb, spicy sausages, and rabbit stew
Grazing boards with charcuterie, olives, fig, and full-bodied Tasmanian cheeses
Roasted red peppers and artisan bites
A Taste of Kefalonia
