The Burgundian trained Yiannis Tselepos established his estate on the foothills of Mount Parnon near the site of ancient Tegea. The winery has spectacular views of the Tripoli plateau to the north and the high mountains behind it. The estate altitude is nearly 700 metres and this produces cool nights even in the middle of summer. The terrain consists of clay over schists. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer are grown on the estate. Tselepos also vinifies the Moschophilero grown within the Mantinia appellation which lies at roughly the same altitude on the opposite side of the Tripoli plateau and does it, in our view, better than anyone else.

This first vintage from the new estate run by Tselepos in the Koutsi district of Nemea promises great things: a generous wine that combines lusty tannins with an abundance of ripe fruit, enriched by hints of eucalyptus and green pepper. It is very smooth and has a velvety finish. It will repay several years' cellaring.

Fermented and aged a few months in oak, this Mantinia takes a delicate bronze colour. The nose is very seductive with aromas of rose petal, rhubarb and quince. The flavours follow through nicely with a hint of toast on the finish. The oak is so well integrated it can not be separate from the wine.
