A monster to overcome; a personal fight to be won. A never-before-tasted flavor, a retro innovation challenge and a strong connection to the ancient wine making know-how of our Greek ancestors, Chimera wines (<a href=\"#!\/ref\">1<\/a>) need to be taken seriously and savored slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Following the spirit of the Ancient Greek pioneers who used wine to overcome ailments and diseases (<a href=\"#!\/ref\">2,3,4,5<\/a>), Chimera wines utilize the same herb infusing tradition (<a href=\"#!\/ref\">6,7,8<\/a>) to create a unique tasting experience designed to inspire you to overcome any obstacle and reach any goal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1619864805490{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618386817319{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 55px !important;background-color: #fcfcfc !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Product&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1619861756636{padding-top: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1619554878406{padding-top: 5px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;anchor-link&#8221;]In continuation of Chimera\u2019s creative legacy and inspiring nature as well as of the innovative ancient Greek herb infusing techniques, we have combined -for the first time- the innumerable health benefits of saffron (<a href=\"#!\/ref\">9,10,11,12<\/a>) from Krokus Kozanis with outstanding grape blends.<\/p>\n<p>Chimera wines embody the unique and emblematic by combining varieties like Athiri, Malagouzia, Assyrtiko and Chardonnay from vineyards of Rhodes and other territories, with the special admixture of organic Saffron, giving them a distinguished fragrance as well as a seductive palate and elegant, golden maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Chimera wines can be enjoyed accompanied by the alluring caress of fine bubbles or still.
