About this Wine

Hand-harvested with meticulous grape selection in the vineyard. The Assyrtiko and Roditis are carefully destemmed and gently pressed, with only the free-run juice being retained. A static settling process follows at 12°C, before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 16°C, preserving freshness and aromatic purity. The Sauvignon Blanc undergoes a short pre-fermentation cold maceration for 6-8 hours at 8°C, enhancing its aromatic intensity. It is then transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation begins at 16°C, preserving its crisp freshness and vibrant character. Each grape variety is vinified separately, allowing their unique characteristics to fully develop. The final blend is crafted after the completion of alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then aged on fine lees for six months, with gentle bâtonnage, enhancing texture, complexity, and mouthfeel.

About Greek Wines

Greece is a country with a long and rich wine history, it is said that the origins of winemaking here date back 6,500 years. Between the mainland and the country’s numerous islands, many wine styles exist, made mostly from one of Greece’s 300 indigenous grape varieties.

During the 1960’s, Retsina became the national beverage and was associated with Greece and Greek wine worldwide. Retsina is a white or rose wine that derives part of its flavour from pine resin. A storage method from ancient times, pine resin was used to seal wine vessels, keeping air out and infusing the wine with resin aroma. The traditional grape for Retsina is Savatiano with Assyrtiko and Rhoditis sometimes blended in.

Assyrtiko is one of the most popular Greek white grape varieties. From the island of Santorini with volcanic soils, it does not lose its acidity as it ripens. It is sometimes compared to Riesling but with a saline character.

Notable red varieties from Greece include full bodied and fruity Agiorghitiko, Macedonia’s savory and tannic Xinomavro, and Mavrodaphne, used commonly to produce fortified wine in the Peloponnese.
