Sotiris Ginis offers a “radical” interpretation of Roditis, based on extraction, aging, and the expression of the vineyard with minimal intervention. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and prolonged contact with the skins for about 10 days, enhancing the structure and aromatic complexity. This is followed by a long aging period on the fine...
With blanc de noir vinification the image of red Xinomavro changes completely, producing a different style of wine. After the grapes are destemmed, a very gentle crushing of the grapes follows, with only 30% of free-flowing juice being quickly removed to avoid picking up pigments or other phenolic elements of the grapes. Fermentation is slow, spontaneous...
The Jura region remains faithful to its traditions, producing wines that delight connoisseurs, with their oxidative character being their main feature. Tissot's Savagnin Sous Voilé is an extremely interesting wine, with mild oxidation, aged for 32 months in 228-liter barrels without complete filling and always with Tissot's philosophy of minimal...
Stylish and extremely complex on the nose, notes of ripe lemon and citrus jam, freshness of mint and pompous mineral character along with tobacco. On the palate there is the classic - a la Chablis - rigour but with dense texture and depth of fruit, in a yin-yang type of interconnection that leads to perfect balance. The tensions on the palate testify to...
Facing such a great terroir you can only stand in awe and respect. The effort to minimize interventions is aimed at enhancing the potential of the old vineyards. They seem to unfold their "memories" in the wine, giving great complexity and absolute balance. Without excesses, but full-bodied and rich, with charmingly ripe fruit along with multiple aromatic...
Etna Bianco was first put into production in 2005 and Carricante is the dominant variety in the blend with a percentage of 70% depending on the year. Carricante is a grape defined by the minerality and saltiness of the terroir. A feast of other field-blends such as Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia make up the rest of the wine. Etna's whites are still...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
En Spois is one of the single-vineyard Vin Jaune wines produced by Tissot and comes from Savagnin grapes grown on clay soils from the Triassic period with eastern exposure. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged for 6 years in old barrels without filling in an oxidative manner. Aging takes place in 60% warmer and...
Skafida is vinified using minimal intervention techniques, sourced exclusively from the vineyard of the same name in Pyrgos, which is cultivated organically. The centuries-old vines are trained using both the couloura and the pruning methods. The grapes, with extremely low yields per acre, remain in contact with the skins for a few hours and then ferment...
