This wine made by the monks of one of the monasteries of Mount Athos in
Greece is called Epifanis. I cannot find out if that has anything to do with
the feast of Epiphany which was celebrated yesterday. Back to the wine, it is
made in the monastery from Limnio, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in their
vineyards. Vinified in temperature controlled tanks, it is aged in new French
barrels for 24 months. The wine was a deep ruby in colour, with a sweet spicy
meaty capsicum nose. The palate was sweet spicy fruity with capsicum notes,
with an acid slightly tannic backbone for support.
