What Makes King of Hearts Special

Prestigious Origin: Sourced from the renowned Drama appellation in Macedonia, known for its cool climate and mineral-rich soils that produce wines of remarkable depth.
Masterful Blending: Combines the character of traditional Greek varieties with the elegance of international grapes, achieving a sophisticated balance of power and finesse.
Age-Worthy Structure: With firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and concentrated fruit, this wine develops beautifully over time — but is equally enjoyable right now.
Award-Winning Estate: Nico Lazaridi is one of Greece's most respected wine producers, consistently recognised for quality and innovation across their entire range.

How to Enjoy King of Hearts

With grilled meats: A natural partner for lamb chops, beef souvlaki, or a slow-roasted leg of lamb — pairs beautifully alongside the equally bold Château Nico Lazaridi Magic Mountain Red Wine for a stunning Greek wine dinner.
With aged cheeses and charcuterie: Serve alongside hard cheeses, cured meats, and olives for a Mediterranean-style meze board. Try it next to the structured Domain Costa Lazaridi Amethystos Red Wine for a compelling tasting comparison.
As a dinner party centrepiece: Impress your guests with a curated Greek wine flight — add the Domain Costa Lazaridi Cava Amethystos Red Wine, the Alpha Estate S.M.X Red Wine Cuvée, or the Alpha Estate Axia Syrah-Xinomavro Red Wine for an unforgettable evening.

Greek-Style Braised Lamb Shanks with King of Hearts — Season two lamb shanks generously with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and cinnamon. Sear in a hot oven-proof pot until browned on all sides, then set aside. Sauté diced onion, carrot, and garlic in the same pot until soft. Add a generous splash of the Château Nico Lazaridi Magic Mountain Red Wine to deglaze, then stir in a tin of crushed tomatoes, a cinnamon stick, and a bay leaf. Return the lamb, cover, and braise in the oven at 160°C for 2.5 hours until fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve over creamy orzo or mashed potatoes, and pour a glass of the King of Hearts alongside — its bold structure is the perfect match for the richness of slow-braised lamb. For a complete Greek table, start with a chilled glass of Château Nico Lazaridi Rosé as an aperitif.
