Introduction:
The 2022 Monemvasia “Jackal” Limniona is a bold and textured Greek red that showcases the rare Limniona grape with savory depth, bright acidity, and a long, refined finish.
Terroir:
Grapes are estate-grown in the Peloponnese on warm, dry hills. The vineyards favor volcanic and sandy soils, with organic farming practiced and low yields. The coastal climate delivers ripe fruit balanced by freshness.
Appearance:
Deep ruby red with vivid clarity and youthful density.
Nose:
Distinct aromas of sour cherry, red cherry, wild raspberry, and rosemary with subtle toasted spice and herbal nuance.
Palate:
Medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and structured tannins. Flavors of red berries and wild herbs are driven by clean minerality. Lees aging adds richness and textural lift.
Finish:
Long and lingering—fruit fades into spice, herb, and saline tension with polished tannins carrying the final note.
Overall Impression:
A standout expression of Limniona—savory, aromatic, and built with finesse. Great with duck, game birds, tomato-based pasta, or grilled red meats. Drink now through 2027.
