The Colour of Wine by Nikos Karatzas
I am always happy when I see new projects, especially from people I respect for their work and humble personality. So when Nikos Karatzas one of the most talented Greek winemakers told me about his new wine - venture in Drama region with some friends, I could not wait to to get my tasting buds in his wines.
Few weeks later I received two samples, a white and a rose which are produced under Oenops Wines brand. Karatzas says that Oenops means the one that has the colour of wine as it is stated in Odyssey Rhapsody A for the Pontos Sea. Vintage 2015 was produced in Lalikos winery which supported Karatzas in his very first steps. Now a new winery is founded in Drama region aiming for approximately 30.000 bottles for vintage 2016.
