Kamanterena - Maratheftiko Dry Red

€ Core price

Maratheftiko is arguably, the most important Cyprus Indigenous red variety. This type of grape has intense deep red colour, elegant aromas full of fruit, rolled up in aromas of red forest fruit which gives a complexity of aromas and tastes on the palate.

Good balance of acidity, alcohol, and tannins compose the perfect beverage for a variety of meat dishes that perfectly respects the origin of the wine and its culture.
