Limniona was almost extinct two decades ago. Today it's having a moment, and Christos Zafeirakis is the reason. Working in Tyrnavos in central Thessaly — a region with deep grape-growing roots but little bottling history — Christos took over his family's grape-farming estate in the early 2000s and began championing nearly-forgotten indigenous Greek varieties. Limniona is his calling card: a perfumed, structured red sometimes likened to a cross between Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. The 2022 is fresh and food-friendly in the house style — bright red cherry, dried herbs, savory undertones, and a lively spine of acidity. These aren't big or flashy wines; they're some of Greece's most approachable, transparent reds, and they deliver outsized character for the proposition.

"The organic (and currently converting to biodynamic) Ktima Zafeirakis 2022 Limniona is elegant and firm with an expressive bouquet that is characterized by aromas of blackcurrant, dried herb and rosebud. It shows a versatile, mid-weight approach with balanced acidity and fine tannins that give this wine a naturally food-friendly profile. This barrel-fermented and aged red is full of unexpected surprises, and it remains elegant all the while. I give this an enthusiastic thumbs up. Some 15,000 bottles were produced." —Monica Larner

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lamb souvlaki, moussaka, roasted chicken with oregano and lemon, or grilled sausages. The herbal lift makes it a friend to tomato-based pastas and Mediterranean fare.

Tasting Profile

Bright red cherry and pomegranate, dried herbs, hints of rose and Mediterranean scrub. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and silky, lightly grippy tannins. Persistent, mineral, savory finish.
