Characteristics
Two varieties, the well-known Syrah and the local variety Kolindrino in an unexpected meeting. The Naked King is born from the marriage of cosmopolitanism and tradition.
Winemaking
With a low yield and with particular attention to the ripening of the grapes, Gymnos Vassilis is a wine of great concentration, which requires the ideal moment of harvest. Thanks to the extensive maceration, but also because of its stay in French oak barrels, it has secondary aromas.
Aromas
Aromatically, it brings together elements of dried fruit and black forest fruits. On the palate, it is exuberant, full-bodied and balanced. It has a wide palette of interesting textures, expressed mainly through intensity, velvety but robust tannins and balanced integrated alcohol.
Combinations
The exuberant character of the wine calls for fatty textures, meats or fish with sometimes smoked preparations. For more special occasions, ossobuco, foie gras with red fruit, oily and crispy sea bass, umami flavours, cigars and dark chocolate with dried fruit will enhance the tasting moment.
