    Description

    Lyhnid i Kuq 2019 is a refined Albanian wine produced by CACO Winery, named after the ancient designation of Lake Ohrid, “Lyhnid.” The lake plays an important role in shaping the microclimate of the surrounding Pogradec region, directly influencing the quality of the grapes. This red wine is a blend of 60% Gems and 40% Merlot, two of the most widely cultivated grape varieties in the area, creating a wine that perfectly captures the terroir of this historic region.

    Aroma and Flavor Profile

    Lyhnid i Kuq offers a complex bouquet of red fruits, dominated by the richness of blackberry and dark cherry, alongside subtle spice notes. The Merlot adds softness and depth, while the Gems grape brings lively freshness and a touch of earthiness. The wine's body, combined with its warmth and long persistence, creates a satisfying experience that reflects the harmony between tradition and modern winemaking.

    Production Method

    The grapes for Lyhnid i Kuq are grown in vineyards surrounding Lake Ohrid, benefiting from the cooling lake breezes that enhance the grapes’ natural acidity and depth of flavor. The wine is carefully aged to balance the boldness of the Gems variety with the velvety texture of Merlot, resulting in a structured and versatile wine. With a limited production of 8,000 bottles, this wine stands out as an authentic expression of the region's potential.

    Pairing Suggestions and Serving Temperature

    Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses, Lyhnid i Kuq 2019 complements a variety of dishes, making it perfect for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions. For optimal experience, it is recommended to serve at 18°C, allowing the wine to fully develop its complex aromas and rich flavors.
