"M" Barrique

When an international heavyweight like Merlot meets a near-extinct local like Mouhtaro, the result could have been chaos. At Samartzis, it’s harmony, a blend that bridges worlds without blurring them.

Merlot brings flesh, roundness, and ease. Mouhtaro brings edge, freshness, and grit. Together they create a red that feels both familiar and surprising, polished yet distinctly Greek.
