Description

The natural softness of Liatiko, Cretan style

Helios Greek sweet red wine is a naturally sweet wine made from 100% Liatiko grapes . The grapes are sun-dried, then vinified to concentrate aromas and texture. As a result, the amber color with honey highlights heralds a rare complexity. The nose reveals dried fruits, nuts, mocha and cocoa. The palate remains rich, full and balanced, with a long, aromatic finish.

A sweet, fresh and refreshing white wine

Serve Helios slightly chilled, around 12-14°C, to preserve its balance. It sublimates chocolate desserts, dried fruit tarts and blue cheeses. It also shines at the end of a meal or for meditative tasting. Finally, its generous structure also accompanies a simple dessert, such as walnut cake.

Frequently asked questions about red wine Helios :

• What’s the difference between Helios sweet wine and a liqueur wine?

A sweet wine is enriched with sugar or alcohol. Helios wine, on the other hand, is naturally sweet: the sugar comes exclusively from sun-dried grapes. The result is a purer, less syrupy balance and a fresher texture.

• Is Helios sweet Greek red wine high in alcohol?

No, it’s around 13.5%. Despite its richness, it retains a beautiful fluidity. This moderation means it can be enjoyed on its own or with dessert without heaviness.

• Can Helios wine be served with anything other than dessert?

Yes, because it also goes well with blue cheeses, honeyed meats or foie gras. Its notes of dried fruit and cocoa create surprising, refined contrasts.

• How long does Helios sweet wine keep?

Thanks to its natural sugar concentration, it keeps very well for several years. Over time, it develops nuances of caramel, candied fruit and coffee.

• How do I store an opened bottle of Helios wine?

Close tightly and refrigerate. In this way, the wine retains its freshness and aromatic intensity for three to four days without alteration.
