The Magic Mountain – a name, a legend, a wine that satisfies all senses. It refers to the Mount Pangeon that rises impressively opposite the Château Νico Lazaridi Winery and relatesto the worship of Dionysus, the treasure hunting by Alexander the Great and constitu-tes a crossroad for cultures between East and West for thousands of years.

The Magic Mountain red wine, produced from the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, since its first release in 1990 and until today is an unsurpassed product, with divine, noble and mystic flavour, characteristics of NICO LAZARIDI superior wines.

Notice every year the label it is different so it might not be the same one as in the picture.

Vineyard
From the privately owned arcadian vineyard at Melissopetra with a unique slate soil composition. Yield is very low at 360 kilos of grape per 1.000 sq.m. and harvesting begins in early September.

Wine and Wine-making
The grapes are crushed in pneumatic presses, clarified and fermented in stainless tanks with controlled temperature (13^o-16^o C) for up to 20 days. Skin contact at 10^o C for 8 hours.

Amyndeon had a heavy winter with very low temperatures. April had very low temperatures as well and in May we had some hail, which damaged some plants – production therefore was lower than usual. Summer however was very dry and warm and the abundance of rain helped us get earlier ripening and very healthy crop. 2017 will be a very aromatic year for the Amyndeon whites. Xinomavro too, is expected to give excellent results.
