Nostos Grenache Red Dry Wine MANOUSAKIS Winery 750ml

Nostos Grenache is a Cretan red wine made from variety Grenache Rouge.

It has a clear, moderate to deep ruby color with rich and slowly tears. The nose is intense and has aromas that highlight its maturity as the jam of red fruits, chocolate and sweet spices, mainly vanilla.

The mouth is dry with volume and width while the tannins are very ripe and soft. Nostos Grenache has long aftertaste with a strong presence of ripe and red fruits.

Nostos Grenache is best matched with grilled meat with red sauces, oily vegetables cooked with tomatoes, moussaka and pasta with meat or red sauce.

The Manousakis Winery is the culmination of the dream and passion of founder Theodore Manousakis. Ted was born in Vatolakkos in 1943, and spent his early childhood years in the village until the age of 11. For reasons much beyond his control and much too complex for a young boy to understand, he left his home to find a better future in the far away “Promised Land”, America. The combination of nostalgia or “nostos”, as the ancient Greeks made reference, along with the perfect soil, sun, and whether conditions of Crete were the driving forces behind his first vineyards. The winery remains a family-run business. His youngest daughter, Alexandra, moved to Chania in 2007 and now manages the Manousakis Winery.  

They produce Nostos Wines and Terroir extra virgin olive oil.
