Tasting note
Deep ruby red color with great intensity. Bold aromas of small dark fruits, spices
and vanilla on the nose. Dry palate, with well structured tannins and a full body.
Complex aromas of ageing, coffee and bitter chocolate accompany the fruity and
spicy character. Aftertaste is long, complex and impressive.

“Abaton” in Greek means “untrodden”. The term has been linked with the untrodden chamber of the church the altar. The most well known “Abaton” in Greece is holy Mount Athos.
Abaton signifies the “untrodden” nature of Mount Athos, the spiritual way of life and
the purity of the land. "Agioritiko" means something originated from Agio Oros (Mount Athos).
It has nothing to do with the variety of Agiorgitiko (Saint George).
