16 Points
"Full bottle 1,295 g. They refer to this wine as ‘Queen’ because of the stylised drawing of a queen on the label. Fruit from Rethymnon in central Crete (at 850 m) and from Sitia, eastern Crete (580 m). Dry-farmed, harvested during the whole harvest period, from 28 August until 20 September. 93% of the grapes were macerated for 8–10 days at 10–24 °C. 7% of the grapes were whole-bunch fermented for 9 days at 25–29 °C. The wine remained in stainless-steel tanks, where it completed malo. TA 5.4 g/l, pH 3.46.

Light bricky red, typical for Liatiko, especially as it ages. Spicy, sweet, wild red berries – wild strawberry and sweet-sour cherry. Light, chalky tannins, really fresh. A great example of varietal Liatiko with no make-up and lots of heart. Relatively light-bodied with plenty of freshness from both the acidity and the nicely dry tannins."
