Our "Aythaya Red" is a Cuvée from SHIRAZ (Syrah) and CABERNET SAUVIGNON grapes. Both vines were imported in 1999 from France.From the following year onwards, in 2010 that is, and 10 years after extensive trials newly discovered varieties were added: DORNFELDER from Germany and TEMPRANILLO from Spain. That means: from more than 50 classic varieties only 4 cultivars were able to withstand the 

challenges of the tropical environment.
A fruity red MOSCATO grape from Italy is the main grape variety of our famous "Aythaya Rose´". The noble Sauvignon Blanc from the Bordeaux area is the dominating grape variety of our "Aythaya White". The other white wine variety of the cuvée is the Chenin Blanc grape from the Loire Valley in France. Tests are under way to evaluate the tropical suitability of some special clones.

My Review:
The red had a very full body taste. You could taste the Wood but not an oakey, I could not tell exactly what type of wood it was. I could definitely taste the cherry taste along with other fruit, however it did not make it sweet at all. It was very thick, almost grainy. However, it was still very savery and robust. It went well with basic chicken and vegetables, along with Tomato soup. Overall very good wine!
