The Vajra family avoid a more fancy or modern version of the variety that would mean new barrique in plenty, leaving their classic Barbera to rest solely on stainless steel tanks. And even though it remains a wine with toned alcohol, strength and intensity, the wonderful fruit of the variety shines on through clearly and reminds of wild cherries and...
A Barolo with lovely glossy fruit, delicate floral notes reminiscent of rose blossoms and violets and a subtle minerality. The palate is well-rounded, with beautifully digested barrel and a freshness that pleasantly surprises. The fine, almost silky, tannins have excellent depth and length at the same time, leading to a persistent finish with a spicy,...
It is not only the old stumps but also the clonal diversity and biodiversity, which is the reason for the exceptional complexity of wines from such vineyards. The above, combined with the slow natural vinification and the Tatsis brothers' non-intrusive approach to the winery, result in a wine that has excellent layering and multiple layers in the glass....

Yeast character, earthy notes and super dry mouthfeel in a wine that drinks like a wine two and three times more expensive than it...

The acidity is not prominent but perfectly balances the slightly oily texture of the wine. The combination of Macabeu and Grenache Gris from average ninety year old vines is vinified with indigenous yeasts in...
White Potamisi and Rozaki, blended with 20% of the red Mavro Potamisi, are harvested simultaneously from the vineyard, co-fermented, and left in contact with the lees for one year. Pappous, like all Domaine de Kalathas wines, is bottled without the addition of sulfites. Mineral notes, Mediterranean herbs, and oxidative notes—more spicy than...
