Details

Giannikos Winery owns 8 ha of vines in two locations, one in Corinth around the winery and the other in Mycenae near the famous archaeological site and birthplace of Greek viticulture almost 4000 years ago. Both vineyards are strictly organically grown as it is believed that only naturally grown vines can produce healthy grapes that form the basis of their quality wines. Another important aspect is the influence of the sea on the microclimate. The cooling winds, together with the Mediterranean sun and the soil, provide the best conditions and are the reasons that Giannikos Winery is already very popular and known internationally, but given the small production.

Greece has a rich heritage of indigenous grape varieties and Giannikos Winery's philosophy is to unite tradition and new technology. That is why they grow organically and harvest and prune carefully by hand. In the winery, they use modern steel tanks, state-of-the-art machinery and French oak barrels from selected manufacturers.

The Little Fox is the top model of Giannikos Winery and gets its name from the little foxes that roam the vineyards. The Little Fox is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Mycenae appellation, PGI Peloponnese. The grapes are hand picked and sorted and then aged for 12 months in new French oak barriques. Like all wines from Giannikos Winery, this wine is organically certified according to European regulation (EC) No 834/2007.

The wine has a garnet red wine with a purple tinge. In the nose we smell red and dark fruit including raspberry, cherries, blackberries, leather, a little forest floor and green pepper. In the mouth, the wine is Full Boedied, complex with a fine texture and a long finish supported by sufficient freshness. For us one of the best Greek red wines.
