Pamid

I tasted a wine which included this grape variety in last year's Wine and Dine. Although Pamid is an ancient Bulgarian grape, the wine I tasted came from Greece and included Limnio as well as Cinsault in its blend. A high yielding grape achieving good sugar levels but low acidity, Pamid makes light quaffable wines for early consumption when vinified alone.

As for this wine, it was a deep ruby with a sweet acid fruity nose with a hint of the skin of currants. The palate was sweet and fruity, giving way to a tannic and then sharply acidic mid palate, turning slowly into an acid backbone giving sterling support.
