Milia Riza "Azzarda" Αγιωργίτικο Blanc de Noir

20,60 €

From the beautiful land of Nemea and from the privately owned organic vineyards of the Milia Riza winery (Nancy Mazou is the granddaughter of the pioneer of Nemea, Thanasis Papaioannou), comes Azzarda Blanc de Noir (in the first year of production it was released as Blanc de Noir Agiorgitiko). An excellent sparkling wine that comes out of the appellation of origin and approaches the multi-dynamic character of the variety with a different winemaking perspective. On top of Agiorgitiko's virtues of expressive fruit come layers of flavour and aromatic complexity with notes of brioche and toast to complement the seductive varietal aromas. A dry white, blanc de noir, sparkling wine with excellent texture, fresh acidity and a persistent toasty finish. A wine that sets an extremely high bar in the emerging category of sparkling wines in Greece.

More info

Milia Riza's Blanc de Noir Agiorgitiko comes exclusively from the estate's organic vineyards located on sandy clay soils in the Xerocampos and Poria locations. The base wine will remain in contact with the lees for a few months in stainless steel tanks with periodic stirring of the lees and then "inoculated" again to carry out the second fermentation in bottle where it remained for 24 months during the so-called autolysis period. Apricots, rosemary and red fruits such as sour cherry and plum are accompanied by notes of toasted bread and brioche. The acidity on the palate is incredible, giving the wine energy and freshness right through to the persistent finish.
