Food pairing notes

Crimson Sky, with its robust flavors and complex aromatic profile, pairs wonderfully with a variety of hearty and flavorful dishes. Here are some food pairing ideas that can enhance the enjoyment of this medium-bodied red wine:

  1. Grilled and Roasted Meats: The rich and bold flavors of LionSpirit Crimson Sky are an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, such as steak, lamb, or venison. The smoky notes of the grill and the savory flavors of the meat complement the wine’s deep fruit and spice notes.
  2. Barbecue: This wine can stand up to the strong flavors of barbecue dishes. Pair it with barbecued ribs, pulled pork, or smoked brisket to bring out the smoky and spicy undertones of both the wine and the food.
  3. Rich Pasta Dishes: Pasta dishes with rich, meaty sauces like Bolognese or a hearty ragu can be wonderfully paired with LionSpirit Crimson Sky. The acidity and tannins in the wine help cut through the fat and richness of the sauce, creating a balanced taste experience.
  4. Mature Cheeses: Pair this wine with a selection of mature cheeses. Cheeses like aged cheddar, gouda, or Parmesan can handle the tannins in the wine, while the creamy fat of the cheese softens the wine’s astringency, making for a harmonious pairing.
  5. Earthy Vegetarian Dishes: For a vegetarian option, consider dishes that feature mushrooms, lentils, or eggplant. These ingredients have an earthy depth that mirrors the complexity of the wine.
  6. Spicy Foods: The bold flavors of Crimson Sky can also pair well with spicy dishes, such as Indian curries or spicy Szechuan dishes. The richness of the wine can balance the heat of the food, providing a nice counterpoint.

These pairings highlight the versatility of LionSpirit Crimson Sky, making it a fantastic choice for enhancing a meal or for savoring during a special occasion.

Winemaker notes

Crimson Sky is crafted with an homage to the rich winemaking heritage of Cyprus, blending traditional methods with modern innovation to create a wine that is both bold and expressive. This wine is made from select indigenous and international grape varieties that thrive in our unique climatic conditions. Each varietal is harvested at peak ripeness to ensure maximum flavor and aroma extraction.

After careful sorting, the grapes undergo a controlled fermentation process where they are allowed to macerate for an extended period to draw out deep colors, concentrated flavors, and robust tannins.

LionSpirit Crimson Sky presents a deep crimson hue, reflective of its name, and offers a rich bouquet of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, nuanced with an earthy minerality and a whisper of smoky oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful yet maintains a graceful balance with smooth tannins and a lingering finish that echoes with notes of spice and dark chocolate.

This wine is designed to captivate and engage the senses, making it an excellent companion to a wide array of culinary dishes, from hearty meat courses to elegant cheese platters. We recommend decanting it briefly to allow its flavors to fully develop before serving. LionSpiritCrimson Sky is not just a wine; it’s an experience that we are proud to share from our vineyard to your table.”
