Product notes
Ruby Heart strikes as a friendly, easy-drinking red that doesn’t compromise on character. Its fresh fruit, integrated oak, and light spice make it both approachable now and capable of aging gracefully for a few more years. It’s precisely the kind of wine that brings comfort and pleasure, ideal for relaxed nights with friends, yet still reflects the distinct charm of Greek terroir.
Production notes
Ruby Heart is crafted from a blend of Limnio, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, organically grown on sandy-clay slopes in Halkidiki, Macedonia. The grapes undergo classic red wine vinification at controlled temperatures, followed by 12 months aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a polished structure that still respects the juicy fruit core
Tasting notes

On the palate, it’s velvety and round, with smooth tannins and a gentle, almost sweet finish. This balance makes it a perfect match for grilled meats and Mediterranean dishes
