ANGIRA, the Greek word for anchor was the symbol of the great diplomat, statesman and ethnarch — Eleftherios Venizelos. He was a leader in Crete’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. Our grandfather served as his bodyguard and hence witnessed Venizelos’ greatness firsthand becoming a loyal supporter to the point that he would campaign on his behalf yelling through the streets and at public gatherings ANGIRA! ANGIRA! Soon our family’s nickname became ANGIRA.

As a tribute to our forefather and to the Cretan hero, Eleftherios Venizelos, we present to you our 2019 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon expressing notes of black cherry, currents, with hints of black pepper, licorice, vanilla and violets.
