ΔΑΦΝΙΟΣ Ερυθρό Ξηρό κρασί

 

«Δάφνιος», από το όνομα του χωριού μας, τις Δαφνές.

 

 

Ξηρή εκδοχή της ποικιλίας Λιάτικο. Μια από τις πιο ευγενείς  γηγενείς ποικιλίες του κρητικού αμπελώνα. 

 

 

Στις Δαφνές του Ηρακλείου Κρήτης, σε υψόμετρο 350 μέτρων. Η γηγενής ποικιλία «Λιάτικο» βρίσκεται κυρίως στις Δαφνές και προσφέρει ξηρά κρασιά, αλλά και φυσικώς γλυκά λιαστά κρασιά.

 

 

Κλασική ερυθρή οινοποίηση. Η αλκοολική ζύμωση ξεκινάει για 3 μέρες στους 20°C και έπειτα συνεχίζεται στους 25°C, σε ανοξείδωτες δεξαμενές.

 

 

Ωρίμασε για 12 μήνες σε βαρέλια γαλλικού δρυ 1,5t και 3t.

 

 

Αλκοόλ: 13,5% vol
Υπολειμματικά σάκχαρα: 1,4 gr/lt
Ολική οξύτητα: 5,5 gr/lt
Ολικό θειώδες: 90 mg/lt

 

 

750ml, 1.5lt & 3lt

 

 

Το κρασί παλαιώνει πολύ όμορφα για περίπου οκτώ χρόνια.

 

 

Ξαφνιάζει  ευχάριστα καθώς στη μύτη θα βρεις μπαχαρικά, πάστα τομάτας, ίσως ελιά, ακατέργαστο δέρμα και νύξεις από μαύρα φρούτα, ενώ όταν ο χρόνος περάσει από πάνω του θα ξεδιπλωθούν αρώματα μπαχαρικών, ξερών φρούτων και δέρματος. Χρώμα ελκυστικό, όχι πολύ βαθύ,  ρουμπινί με πορτοκαλί  ανταύγειες -χαρακτηριστικό της ποικιλίας. Στο στόμα υπάρχει η συνέχεια των αρωμάτων της μύτης, μέτριο  σώμα,  καλή οξύτητα,  μαλακές και νόστιμες  τανίνες  που συνθέτουν  ένα φινετσάτο κρασί .

 

 

Σερβίρεται σε θερμοκρασία 17°C. Σίγουρα θα μπορούσαμε να χαρακτηρίσουμε το κρασί αυτό ως «μπαλαντέρ», καθώς μπορεί να συνοδεύσει από απλά έως περίπλοκα πιάτα κρέατος και λαχανικών, αλλά και να το πιείτε μόνο του.

Dafnios Red Tasting Notes

Tasted in Country Tasted by Published on Vintage Wine tasting notes
2018 France Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of The World 2007 www.blindtasted.com 2016 Light red ruby colour. Sweet nose of red berries, plum and mild spices with modest oak. Medium weight palate, nice red fruit, digest with good extract, a fresh backbone and a rather long savoury finish.
2017 U.K. International Wine Competition www.decanter.com 2015 This is an outstanding Liatiko with a complex nose of cherries, leather and savoury notes. Refined, almost silky on palate.
2015 France Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of The World 2007 www.blindtasted.com 2013 Medium deep ruby red. Intense nose with ripe sweet fruit, some earthy and leathery notes. Fresh palate with medium weight and a rounded texture, sweet red berry fruit, mild spices and a medium to long finish.
2015 France Markus Del Monego MW, Best Sommelier of The World 1998 www.blindtasted.com 2013 Dark garnet red colour with almost black centre. Well structured nose with slightly balmy character. On the palate firm tannins with a slightly dry finish, restrained fruit and hints of mild spices.
2015 U.S.A. Mark Squires, Wine Journalist www.robertparker.com 2013 The 2013 Liatiko Dafnios is all Liatiko, a red grape indigenous to Crete and sourced from vines approximately 30 years old. It was aged for nine months in a mixture of used French oak (80%) and stainless steel (20%). Fresh and pure, this features, sappy, up-front fruit flavor with a nod to Beaujolais, but it also adds a fresh and vibrant feel with mild tannins, some persistence on the finish and a bright personality. It is a lovely red that can and should be chilled down a bit (around 60F works well) and drunk as an uncomplicated sipper. In the short-run, it merely seems ridiculously delicious, yet never cloying and always elegant. Is it worth leaning up for that? If you want thick, rich and powerful, you'll say no. Otherwise, you might think this is one of the nicest values here for an elegant and easy sipper. It may not last long at peak, but it will be an enormous crowd-pleaser. This might hold better than I think, but I do believe it is best drunk young. After that, we'll see where we are when we get there.
2014 U.S.A. Mark Squires, Wine Journalist www.robertparker.com 2011 The 2011 Liatiko Dafnios is very graceful with sensual texture. For all of its fruit forward demeanor and elegant feel, it has a certain steely note to it as it airs out that I appreciated. There isn't much concentration here, but it does have some structure, reasonable acidity and ripe tannins. It finishes with juicy fruit laced with a bit of a bitter chocolate nuance. It is a lot of fun. I liked this much better with 30 minutes of air and some coolness. At that point it began to grow on me, demonstrating a bit more substance than I originally thought it had. Drink it on the young side, but it should hold nicely for a few years. Drink now-2019.
2012 U.S.A. Mark Squires, Wine Journalist www.robertparker.com 2010 The 2010 Liatiko “Dafnios” is all Liatiko, an indigenous Cretan grape, that is oak aged for 9 months according to the winery’s data. It seemed slightly creamy on opening, which is odd because it is anything but. That changed pretty fast. It has a rich fruit nuance and came around nicely in the glass, showing better structure and more purity of fruit, without any cloying traces, losing all the creamy hints. It is pretty sexy in some respects given its fine aromatics and intense fruit flavor, but it cuts that with a little steely purity and enough structure to prevent it from being overly one dimensional. Many like their reds in the lower 60 degrees Fahrenheit anyway, but this is certainly something that should not be drunk too warm. This could grow on me. It is awfully tasty and awfully friendly. I will be interested to see how it develops in the cellar and in other vintages. Drink now-2018.
