The winemaking philosophy is to create wines that showcase the quality of indigenous varieties. Following a thorough inspection at the winery, the grapes were preserved for 24 hours at very low temperatures. The grapes were destemmed, then cold maceration took approximately six hours. The free-run juice was removed without having been pressed. After a cold settling, the wine was fermented with carefully selected yeasts, highlighting this variety's aromatic characteristics. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at temperatures of 15°C, maintaining the purity of fruit in the resulting wine.
It is a bright, uplifting wine with delicate fruit aromas, a rich, charming palate, and a crisp finish that beautifully balances it.

| Winery | The indigenous variety of Thrapshathiri (pronounced Thrap-sah-THEE-ree) is grown in the Dafnes region in vineyards at an altitude of 400 to 500 metres above sea level. At this elevation, the cool Aegean summer breezes refresh the vines during the summer, when temperatures can reach 35°C. The cooler nights can drop to 15°C, and this diurnal temperature difference retains natural acidity in the grapes, balancing this rich and intensely aromatic variety. The calcium-rich, clayish soils offer good nutrients and excellent water retention to nourish the vines during hot, dry summers. The low-yielding vines are trained according to the Royat method. The soils, very low-yielding vines and the distinctive microclimate combine to create a unique terroir in which the Thrapshathiri variety thrives. |
