Produced by the prestigious Château Nico Lazaridi, a winery with roots dating back to 1975, the King of Hearts Red is a standout selection from Northern Greece. This blend marries the international elegance of Merlot with the bold, traditional character of the Greek Xinomavro.
 
The wine is a thoughtful composition of 85% Merlot and 15% Xinomavro, resulting in a profile that is both approachable and structured.
 
Aromas: An intense nose dominated by red fruit—specifically cherry, raspberry, and plum—accented by subtle herbal undertones.
Palate: Fresh and fruit-forward, characterized by silky tannins that provide a smooth texture and a long, generous finish.
Body: A well-defined dry red with a refined sugar content of only 2 g/L.

The Merlot provides the plush, velvety fruit core, while the Xinomavro (one of Greece's noblest grapes) adds the necessary acidity and light herbal complexity to keep the wine vibrant.
Serving Suggestion: This versatile red pairs beautifully with Mediterranean stews, grilled lamb chops, or aged cheeses. Its soft tannins also make it a rare red that can hold its own alongside hearty pasta dishes with red sauce.
