Kritikos Red is a classic expression of Cretan winemaking, crafted from the indigenous grape varieties Kotsifali and Mandilaria. Deep ruby in color, this wine offers an inviting bouquet of ripe red fruits, cherries, and subtle spice, complemented by earthy undertones that reflect its Mediterranean origin.
On the palate, it is well-structured and balanced, with soft tannins and a smooth mouthfeel. Flavors of red berries, plum, and gentle herbal notes unfold harmoniously, leading to a pleasant, lingering finish with light spice and freshness.
An excellent companion to:
Grilled or roasted meats
Lamb and beef dishes
Tomato-based pasta and stews
Aged and semi-hard cheeses
Traditional Mediterranean cuisine
Best enjoyed at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to fully express its aroma and character.
