It's hard not to be captivated by Lakomata, a great expression of the dynamism and greatness of the Kefalonian Robola. The aromas of the wine do not stop evolving in the glass, the ripeness plays with the freshness of the acidity, the character in the mouth is complex and the wine clearly gives you a sense of fullness. This is one of the most divine wines...
Forget everything that defines modern. In Taganana everything is necessarily done in the traditional way. It is not a matter of choice but the wildness of the place dictates it. Only animals can help with the farming, which is done strictly by hand. The vines grow freely, without any support over cliffs. For those with acrophobia the sight is forbidding,...
A different approach to the Savvatiano variety characterized by maturity, complexity, tasty tensions and the interplay between primary, secondary (from the lees) and tertiary (ageing) aromas. Even if one is not a fanatic of the style, Aoton Savatiano is a wine with a completely unique character and gives an extra dimension to the variety and complexity of...
Sylvain is among the Burgundy producers who have returned to the traditional technique of using whole bunches during the winemaking process, a technique that was particularly widespread in Burgundy in the past. The top-of-the-range Clos du Roy is vinified with 100% whole bunches and is a Pinot Noir of great concentration and depth of fruit with enormous...
The 25-year-old organic vineyard is located on limestone, rocky soils on the slopes of Kounavos, at the foot of Peza in Heraklion. The Muscat Spina buds came from the province of Selino in Chania, the place of origin of the variety, and have been grafted onto the native Rozaki variety. The harvest takes place in two phases: the first with a lower Baumé to...
The Garakis family's Vidiano comes from four organically cultivated vineyards, all located near the village and planted in poor, limestone soils. The process begins with 24 hours of skin contact at low temperature, before alcoholic fermentation begins, which lasts about 15 days under controlled conditions. The wine remains in contact with the fine lees...
Fantastic attention to detail, low yields, and a healthy biodynamic vineyard explain the high quality of Quintaine. The grapes arrive at the winery ripe and healthy, and from then on, the Guillemots simply monitor without interfering in the winemaking process. Fermentation of whole bunches with natural yeasts, maturation in concrete tanks with the lees,...
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...
