Pnevmatikakis Eklektos Syrah – Award-Winning Dry Red Wine from Kissamos
Discover one of the true gems of Cretan winemaking: Pnevmatikakis Eklektos Syrah, a standout dry red wine from the Pnevmatikakis Winery in the sun-drenched hills of Kissamos, western Crete.
Crafted with passion from carefully selected Syrah grapes, this elegant wine showcases the perfect harmony between international varietal character and the unique terroir of Crete. The warm Mediterranean climate, cooling sea breezes, and rocky soils of Kissamos allow the Syrah grapes to develop intense flavors and remarkable balance.
In the glass, Eklektos reveals a deep, vibrant ruby color with purple reflections. The nose is rich and complex, offering generous aromas of ripe black cherry, juicy plum, dark berries, and subtle hints of black pepper, violet, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with velvety tannins, notes of dark chocolate and spice, and a long, satisfying finish. At 12.5% alcohol, it delivers power with elegance — never heavy, always refined.
This exceptional Syrah has earned international recognition, winning a prestigious Bronze Medal at the 2021 Decanter World Wine Awards. This award confirms what local wine lovers already know: Eklektos is a wine of outstanding quality that proudly represents the winemaking excellence of Kissamos.
Eklektos Syrah pairs wonderfully with our premium dry-aged beef cuts, roasted lamb with Cretan herbs, grilled game, mature cheeses, or rich Mediterranean dishes. It shines especially bright when enjoyed slowly around the table with family and friends — the perfect match for special moments at The Paterakis Table.
Bottled with care and tradition by the Pnevmatikakis family, this award-winning red wine captures the generous spirit of Crete: warm, authentic, and full of character.
