Tetramythos Nature Phelloe

24,80 €

Pausanias already mentions the village of Ancient Phelloe in detail in ancient texts, emphasizing that the surrounding areas are ideal for viticulture. Millennia later, from the same place, today's Seliana, the Tetramythos winery produces Phelloe Nature, an exceptional red wine from a single, virgin vineyard. It is organically grown, has never been sprayed, and includes old vines planted in a cup-shaped formation, 30% of which are ungrafted. Three exceptional Peloponnesian varieties coexist in the vineyard: Mavrodaphne, Mavro Kalavritino, and Agiorgitiko. The result is a wine full of black fruits, ripe plums, and cherries, with aromatic notes of herbs, smoke, and earthy touches. On the palate, it is robust, velvety, and elegant, with a mineral finish, a deep and complex wine that reflects the identity of the altitude and terroir of Aegialia.

More info

Phelloe Nature comes from a single, organic 3-acre vineyard in the mountain village of Phelloe (Seliana), in eastern Aegialia. The partially ungrafted vines, planted in limestone and clayey rocky soils, yield low yields per acre and extremely concentrated grapes. Vinification is carried out by spontaneous fermentation in open tanks, manual pigeage and two weeks of maceration, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 18 months in old 9th and 10th use oak barrels and bottled unfiltered, unclarified, with minimal sulphites. The result is a dense, velvety, well-structured wine with a balance of power and elegance. Only two to three barrels are produced annually from the three acres. Ideal to accompany slow-cooked beef stew or mature cheeses.
