 2 Mazi Red Dry Wine Manousakis & Lyrarakis Winery

 2 Mazi Red Dry Wine is the result of a collaboration between two of the most renowned and important wineries of Crete. Western and Eastern Crete meet, represented by Manousakis Winery from Chania and Lyrarakis Winery from Siteia, sharing a common goal, knowledge and love for quality wines.

2 Mazi Red Dry Wine is produced from the Cretan varieties Mandilari and Romeiko. It has a clear bright red colour with a rusty edge. The nose is intense and rustic with aromas of dried fruits, ripe berries and some nutty character. 2 Mazi red wine is medium bodied with smooth tannins and a warm finish with bitter chocolate, notes of nuttiness, and a hint of herbs. Its aftertase is very long. This wine can be aged 5-6 more years.

Enjoy it with roasted lumb, red meat with rich sauces, game or rich stews. It is served at 16-18°C.

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.
