The “ultimate” expression of an orange vinification of Morokanella, from a specific vineyard parcel at 800 meters altitude in the Panagia region of Paphos. Part of the experimental winemaking efforts in which Yiannis and Pavlos Kyriakides explore the full potential of Cypriot grape varieties, Nature’s Vengeance is a wine with a mildly hazy orange hue, candied citrus aromas on the nose, subtle tropical notes in the background, and a gentle oxidative “touch.” The 45-day skin contact has given the wine a firmly tannic, almost wild, palate, yet the warm alcohol is perfectly aligned with the wine’s pronounced acidity.

Fresh and juicy with the classic notes of red cherry, mint and licorice, wrapped around the typical fine tannins of Sangiovese and all this on top of a palate that is overwhelming you with the freshness of its acidity. Elements of smoke and a...
On the one hand, great aromatic and flavour concentration, intensely oily sensation and richness in the mouth. On the other hand, excellent range, air and freshness. Multi-layered flavours and aromas, notes of quince, toast, caramel, along with strong dry-fruit elements. Richly sweet but with terrific lift and spirit leading to an exciting finish with...
