Deep ruby-purple in colour, with intense nose of black fruit, vanilla and black pepper, further enhanced by suggestion of caramel and toasted nuts. The mouth is full of sour cherries, plums and gooseberries, on a background of chocolate and cinnamon. Structured, with a velvety tannin texture in harmonious balance with the vibrant acidity. Long, luscious finish with sweet spices, notes of tobacco and oak. A complex, rich and layered wine. This is composed of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, selected from the very best and most expressive blocks at Ktima Kir-Yianni.

Winemaking
The winemaking objective for Ble Alepou is to highlight the terroir of the Kir-Yianni Estate and its potential for world-class wines. To that end, Ble Alepou is a blend of the best examples of the basic varieties grown at the Estate, selected according to their technical characteristics, such as acidity, alcoholic degree, phenolic ripeness, intensity of aroma and color. After strict selection in the vineyard and on the sorting table, the grapes of each variety are cold soaked separately at 9-10°C in a reductive environment for a period of 5-7 days. All varieties are fermented in French oak casks at different temperatures. A monitored hydraulic pigeage is used in order to avoid the breaking of grape seeds and the extraction of undesirable tannins. Grape skins are removed before the end of fermentation. The wine is aged in new 225 and 500-lt French oak casks.
