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...

The resulting grape must, including the skins, is transferred into 700L French clay amphorae.

A wine in which you can enjoy the botanical elements, the freshness of pine in perfect balance with the fruity characteristics of the Assyrtiko of Goumenissa and mild notes from the barrel. The sustainable resin gives crystal...
Let's leave any marketing gimmicks aside and focus on the substance of the matter. 1979 Wines' two Kallos micro releases from the 2022 vintage are two stunning and fascinatingly different resins.
