Merlot Mouhtaro
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.

This isn’t a safe blend. It’s a statement that the old and the new don’t just coexist; they sharpen each other. Samartzis Merlot Mouhtaro proves Boeotia still has stories worth telling, and wines worth remembering.
