The colour is deep ruby and cloudy. The nose reveals some of the imperfections typical of natural wines. In the mouth acidic and drying. The aftertaste is rather short. With some air, both aroma and taste improve, but overall this is not a very pleasant wine, as it is often the case with red natural wines (according to my experience so far).

The colour is medium garnet. On the nose prunes, blueberries and meat. In the mouth light, but well balanced and still pleasant to drink. The aftertaste is medium long.
The nose is characterised by herby aromas, like rosemary, pine and the signature laurel, which is called “dafni” in Greek.
On the nose at first meaty, but after a while some cherries and menthol notes come forward. In the mouth smooth and well balanced. The finish leans toward dry fruits. The aftertaste is pleasant, although it doesn’t last very long.
Fresh nose of green apple, lime and melon. In the mouth it displays a pronounced acidity and citrusy flavours. The finish is a bit prickly, but pleasant. The aftertaste is longer than most wines I tasted while spending this year summer holiday in Crete. 
On the nose pleasant aroma of peach and lime, with a freshness that continues in the mouth, where it finishes with a flavour of green apple. No much aftertaste, beside the refreshing sensation.
On the nose it displays mild aromas of melon, mandarin and banana. In the mouth light, but balanced, with an agreeable finish. The aftertaste is very discrete, with the melon, the mandarin and the banana coming back to say goodbye.
Intense nose of spices, pleasant bitterness in the mouth and a good aftertaste. The oak is well integrated and the tannins are already fairly smooth.
Brilliant golden colour, aroma of peach, brioche and hints of vanilla. A wine rich in flavours and good in length.
A pleasant basic red wine made with Refosco (of Italian origin) and (indigenous) Mavrodaphne grapes. This is the main red wine produced by Mercouri Estate, a very charming property located close to the port of Katakolo.
