- This wine is from the Indigenous Savatiano grape, known for its rich and complex flavours. It boasts a captivating and aromatic medley of ripe peach, quince, creamy vanilla, and a delightful hint of Turkish delight. On the palate, it is dry with a perfect harmony of freshness, offering intense notes of grapefruit, pepper, ginger, and wild mint that lead to a lingering and spicy finish. The fruit underwent strict selection in the vineyard and again in the cellar. The grapes were destemmed and crushed, and the free run must be cold macerated with skin contact for six hours. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 14°C in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit. The wine was rested on its fine lees, with bâtonnage adding texture and complexity for three months.

Made from the native Savatiano grape, this wine offers a complex and aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, quince, creamy vanilla, and an intriguing hint of Turkish delight. Dry with perfectly balanced freshness, intense grapefruit, pepper, ginger, and wild mint notes lead to a long and spicy finish.

| Winery | The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard called Plataies, located in Plataea, a small village at the foot of the Kitheronas Mountain in Central Greece. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 250 to 320 metres elevation. During the autumn and winter months, cool air masses blow down from the mountains, carrying dew, which refreshes the vineyard with crucial humidity. Cold winters, hot summers, and long, dry autumns combine with long periods of sunshine to enable the grapes to reach excellent maturity and complexity. The Savatiano variety is suited to the hot, dry climate as it has excellent drought-resistant properties. The grapes for this wine come from old vines of 40 to 60 years, which are pruned according to the traditional goblet style and produce low yields of concentrated fruit. |
