One of the very few, remaining collectible magnum bottles of Nostos Mourvedre 2017 from Manousakis Winery. It is one of the most impressive and rare wines in the world and now, fortunately, it can be yours as well, thanks to the generosity of Manousakis Winery and Alexandra Manousakis.

The majestic winery in Vatolakkos, Chania is a reference point both for its excellent wines and for the unique tastings and guided tours it organizes. Alexandra's father Theodore Manousakis founded the family winery in 1993 when he returned from the States, where he lived for years. He chose to give his wines the name Nostos because during the years he lived as an immigrant he missed his homeland of Crete every day (nostos from nostalgia). The return of his daughter, Alexandra, after 14 years, was what changed everything. The family united around a vineyard, determined to create the best they could from their blessed land. Thirteen years later, Manousakis Winery rightfully belongs to the most remarkable Greek wineries, which shine abroad.

Nostos Mourvedre is their pride. A vineyard at 1000-1,200 ft, with old and young vines, gives its best fruit. This is followed by classic red vinification in oak tanks and maceration for 20 days, which gives a deep color and robust tannins. The wine ages in French (75%) and American (25%) barrels for 12 months and is bottled unfiltered in just 840 bottles.

Nostos Mourvedre Manousakis Winery is the ultimate gift for every wine collector!

PLEASE NOTE: The cost of shipping must be paid by winning bidder (if applicable).
