The Cabernet is dominant with the plum and red fruit aromas coexisting with slightly smoked oak barrel characteristics where the wine was matured for a year. Very concentrated, full bodied, present round tannins from the beginning till the end of the long aftertaste.
Aged for 12 months in French oak and bottled unfiltered, this wine will reward cellaring for up to 15 years.
Bottled unfiltered. Ageing potential 12-15 years.

Domaine Kikones, Thrace - Artisans Melina and Vassilis Tassou at work (video)
Artisans Melina and Vassilis Tassou at work. A team comprising of Pomak ladies, Pontian-Greek and Russian. Someone cracked. ” This is a National Geographic winery!” Attention to detail. Whole berry fermentation. The ‘carrot’. Leonidas: the master of pigeage.
Kikones Rosé Dear Milena,
Last weekend we found the perfect weather to enjoy your Kikones rose.
As stated on your website:
Lemnio 60%; Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%, Dry Rose
A blend of the ancient Greek variety Lemnio, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Intense orange-pink colour, orange-red hues. A trully remarkable Rose with fruity aromas of blueberries, raspberries and pomegranate. Strong fresh red fruit characteristics on the palate with soft oiliness followed by the sweetness of alcohol. Lingering finish.
It was a perfect drink, we took our time to slowly drink it and we really, really enjoyed the fresh fruity aroma's!
Thanks, Marcel&Ceri
