Labyrinth Skouras is a highly distinctive wine produced using a solera-inspired aging method, making it one of the most complex creations of Skouras. It is based on the Megas Oenos blend, primarily combining Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon, with multiple vintages continuously aged together in a single oak barrel.
Each year, a portion of the wine is bottled, while the barrel is refilled with younger wine, resulting in a layered composition where no single vintage dominates. This process gives the wine remarkable depth and continuity, reflecting both time and terroir.
In the glass, it shows a deep color with evolving ruby and brick tones, indicating maturity and concentration. The aromatic profile is rich and multi-layered, featuring notes of black and red fruits, spice, cocoa, cedar, and subtle herbal nuances.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with refined tannins and balanced acidity that support its structure. The finish is long and persistent, revealing new layers over time, making it a wine suited for slow appreciation and extended aging.
Producer
Skouras is one of the leading forces in modern Greek winemaking, located in the Nemea region of the Peloponnese, an area closely associated with the Agiorgitiko grape. Founded in 1986 by winemaker George Skouras, who trained in Dijon, the winery combines international expertise with a strong focus on Greek terroir.
Its vineyards are spread across multiple zones, including Nemea, Mantinia, and Argolida, at varying altitudes that allow for both ripeness and freshness in the grapes. Domaine Skouras works extensively with indigenous varieties such as Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero, while also incorporating international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Viognier.
The winemaking approach emphasizes precision, with controlled fermentation and careful oak aging used to enhance structure and complexity. The wines are known for their balance between fruit expression, acidity, and refined tannins, often showing both immediate appeal and aging potential.
Over time, the winery has played a significant role in elevating the reputation of Greek wines internationally, particularly through its consistent and terroir-driven interpretation of Agiorgitiko.
