Lafazanis Winery Sirius Agiorgitiko & Cabernet Sauvignon Red
A Refined Peloponnese Red Wine
Discover the character of the Peloponnese with Lafazanis Winery Sirius Agiorgitiko & Cabernet Sauvignon Red, a sophisticated Greek red wine produced under the P.G.I. Peloponnisos designation. This expressive blend combines two distinctive grape varieties, Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a harmonious balance between rich fruit, elegant structure and subtle oak complexity.
The grapes come from the winery’s own vineyard in Agios Georgios, Atalanti, where carefully selected, low-yield vines help concentrate the natural flavours of the fruit. As a result, Sirius delivers a generous and well-defined personality that makes it an excellent choice for both relaxed evenings and special occasions.
Vinification and Oak Ageing
The winemaking process begins with alcoholic fermentation and extraction in stainless steel tanks under fully controlled conditions. This careful approach allows the winemakers to preserve the character of the grapes while developing depth and structure. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and then spends six months ageing in 300-litre French oak barrels with a medium toast.
Consequently, the oak contributes elegant layers of spice and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The combination of Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon also gives the wine a pleasing balance between softness and structure, making it approachable while retaining plenty of character.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, Lafazanis Sirius displays a deep ruby-red colour that immediately suggests its rich and expressive style. On the nose, aromas of black fruits and ripe raspberry mingle with delicate spice and attractive notes of oak. These aromas continue onto the palate, where the wine offers a rich body supported by velvety tannins.
Furthermore, the balanced structure makes the wine smooth and enjoyable, while its medium-length finish leaves pleasant impressions of ripe fruit, spice and oak. It is a versatile Greek red that showcases the quality and individuality of Peloponnese winemaking.
Food Pairing and Serving
Lafazanis Sirius Agiorgitiko & Cabernet Sauvignon pairs particularly well with red meat, making it an excellent companion for grilled or roasted beef and tender red meat fillets. Its rich fruit profile and velvety tannins also complement mature and full-flavoured cheeses.
For the best experience, serve this red wine at 16–18°C. If desired, allow it to breathe briefly before serving to help its fruit and oak aromas open up.
