Controlled yields per hectare not exceeding 900kg/ha and a gentle winemaking approach using commercial, but neutral, yeasts and careful use of sulphite in the wine. Vinification is followed by a four-month stay in stainless steel tanks where the wine is worked with fine lees enhancing the oily feel of the variety. The acidity accentuates the fruit on...
Piercing tensions with beautiful oxidative hints supported by citrus peels and candied lemon. Give it time to open up and it's a party of aromas with saffron and curry, tobacco leaf, nuts like walnut and toasted almond, combined with earthy truffle notes. Mouth umami-driven on the full, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense nut flavors and...
The wine is organic and the vineyard is located in the area of Katogi (lower than the sea level) of Paliki. The small acreage yields of the vineyards (privately owned organic and cooperating) are from 30 to 50 years old and the wine is vinified in anoxic tanks with indigenous yeasts and bottled after remaining with the lees for about 8-9 months. Perfectly...
Vines planted in 1943, manual harvesting, cup-shaped stumps, extremely stony terroir, whole bunch vinification at low temperatures that delay the native yeasts from working and add complexity to the wine, and fermentation and maturation in concrete tanks. There's nothing about the above suggestions that doesn't generate excitement among the wine lovers...
Granitic soils reminiscent of the Northern Rhône and a tiny vineyard owned by Pedro Parra, one of the best in the region. Everything is done by hand, vinification as with all his Cinsault is with 100% whole bunches and fermentation is done in concrete tanks and aging in oak foudres. One of the producer's three excellent grand cru wines that is the finest...
Such a special wine could only have an equally special name. The name Metagitnion refers to the second month of the Attic calendar (roughly late July to late August). Its almost orange colour is the result of slow oxidative ageing in old barrels without the protection offered by sulphites at any stage of the process. It is dry, with aromas of honey and...
The fruit for Orange Muscat comes from the privately owned autirio vineyard, at least 50 years old, which gives very low yields and is cultivated with biodynamic and organic practices. The harvest takes place in the first half of August. The health and maturity of the grapes is a key factor in the subsequent maceration with the skins, which takes place in...
Produced from Moschatela grapes grown on the Paliki peninsula of Kefalonia, the wine begins its journey with destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes. The resulting grape must, including the skins, is transferred into 700L French clay amphorae. Maceration takes place during alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately 30 days and is carried out...
