Description

The Black Sheep , an eccentric name for a product that emphasizes its diversity and uniqueness. Its neo-cosmetic philosophy is evident from its screw cap, its trendy appearance and the freshness that characterizes it. It is produced at the Makedon Winery in Platanotopos, Kavala, while the vineyards are located a short distance from the winery.

For the Black Sheep red we chose the Syrah and Merlot varieties , whose cultivation at the foot of Mount Pangaeos has brought very good results.
