"Grande Réserve Dafnes" Red
Douloufakis Dry Wine
Elegant | Mysterious | Unconventional
Luminous deep ruby color with brownish highlights, a result of the five-year aging. The aromatic bouquet is rich and complex, dominated by notes of mint, blackberries and spices, while subtle hints of leather are imprinted in the background. On the palate, it is equally impressive, not only focusing on the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and tannins but also on the exceptional quality of each element. The fruit is perfectly ripe, the acidity wonderfully integrated, and the tannins well-crafted, resulting in a wine that boasts an impressive flavor profile and an exceptionally long finish.
The label of the Grand Réserve features an elegant and simple design with vintage details. Inspired by the extended aging process, we have added depth to the label, reflecting its journey from the vineyards to the bottle. We’ve chosen a special paper, allowing for a play of light as it permeates certain embossed elements.

Serving GRAND RÉSERVE DAFNES Red Wine
Serve in a large tulip glass at a cool temperature of 13°C - 15°C. It pairs wonderfully with cooked meats, such as braised beef and spetzofai, as well as oily dishes. Mostly, however, it will show its virtues next to grilled red meats, such as a T-bone steak, but also with fine game or aged cheeses, offering a unique taste experience.
Follow a RecipeGrand Réserve Dafnes Red Wine Vinification
The grapes, after a rigorous selection and destemming, were transferred to the vinificator. The must remained in skin contact for 30 days, During the first 24 hours, cold maceration took place at temperatures of 10°C - 12°C. Alcoholic fermentation followed for approximately 10 days at temperatures around 22°C - 23°C. At the conclusion of alcoholic fermentation, spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred. After separating the pomace from the wine, it remained in the tank for two months. Subsequently, the wine underwent debourbage and was carefully transferred to French oak barrels where it matured for 18 months. Following barrel aging, the wine was bottled and aged for an additional 30 months before its release in September 2023.
