“Her King”: Where Crete’s Liatiko Meets the King Cabernet Sauvignon
Dive into “Her King,” where the noble Cabernet Sauvignon—often praised as the king of red grape varieties—and the charismatic Liatiko from Crete unite to create a majestic wine experience.
Through artful vinification, which includes careful maceration at 20 to 23°C and conscientious extraction over 6-7 days, a wine is produced that presents both the intense red color and complex aromas of red fruits, spices, chocolate, and coffee of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the spicy-aromatic spirit of Liatiko.
After maturing for 6 months in French oak barrels and at least another 5 months in the bottle, “Her King” unfolds its full splendor with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, expressive finish.
