Structured, tannic reds, deeply coloured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and graphite, underpinned by firm acidity and fine ageing potential.

The world's most planted red variety, a natural cross of Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc born in Bordeaux.

The wine region of Meteora
IGP in central Thessaly (Trikala district, vineyards at 150–800 m at the foot of the Meteora rocks, unique clay-sandy soils on slate from meteorite rain, continental climate, IGP 2006): Limniona is the native signature red in renaissance — intense fresh red fruit with spiced notes and altitude-driven acidity.

The wine region of Thessalia
Greek continental IGP (Larissa, Magnesia, Karditsa, Trikala) between Olympus, the Pindus and the Aegean, altitude vineyards, dry continental climate. Limniona signature indigenous red king in full revival: elegant and fresh with red cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean herbs, fine spices and floral touch, fine tannins and vibrant acidity — compared to Greek Pinot Noir. Structured Xinomavro in red, saline Assyrtiko and floral Malagousia in identity whites.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
