Frequently asked questions about Greek rosé wine :

• What distinguishes Korfi red wine from other Greek wines?

Among Greek red wines, Korfi stands out thanks to its six-month aging in French oak barrels. This gives it a fine structure, elegant tannins and a complex bouquet of aromas combining red fruits, vanilla, spices and a delicate hint of chocolate.

• Does oak barrel ageing change mouthfeel?

Indeed, aging in French oak brings about a notable transformation. It softens the tannins, refines the structure of the wine and intensifies the aromas. As a result, each sip becomes rounder, more supple, and ends with a long, silky finish.

• Why is Korfi red wine recommended for grilled meats?

Thanks to its aromatic power and well-melted tannins, Korfi rouge perfectly balances the intense flavors of grilled or braised meats. It adds a gourmet dimension to every bite.
