Zyme Kairos 2017 is a complex red blend from the Veneto, composed of at least 15 different grape varieties. The name ‘Kairos’ refers to the opportune moment, reflecting the careful timing required to harvest each variety at peak ripeness. The 2017 vintage presents a dense ruby colour and a rich profile of forest fruit, pipe tobacco and exotic spices. On the palate, it is velvety and broad-shouldered, with integrated tannins and a persistent mineral vein. It offers a mosaic of flavours, from plum marmalade to clove and cinnamon, concluding with a long and sweet-toned finish.

The 2017 Kairos is seductive from start to finish, wafting up an initial burst of exotic spice and smoke, which slowly evolves into a mix of cherries, blueberries and red currants, complemented by hints of lavender and sage. It’s velvety-smooth but also juicy and packed full of lively energy, focusing on fruit, with ripe wild berries and strawberries cooled by minty herbal tones. This is wonderfully polished, textural and soothing, leaving hints of milk chocolate and violet candies. The Kairos is produced using a dizzyingly long list of grape varieties, 10% of which are white, that are partially dried then co-fermented with ambient yeasts, and matured for 24 months in French oak.
