- Vibrant and aromatic notes of smoky pink grapefruit, vibrant lemon and nettle. Textured, mineral and flinty on the palate with a long, saline finish. A full-flavoured and aromatic blend with fragrant notes of nettle and tropical fruits interlaced with citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. It is beautifully textured with balancing acidity and wonderful length.
The Sauvignon Blanc and Assyrtiko grapes were hand-picked at optimum maturity levels. Each variety was coolly macerated for several hours to extract flavour and aromatics and then carefully pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and aromatic varietal characteristics before blending. The wine spent several weeks on the fine lees with bâtonnage to enhance the complexity and texture.

Winery | Located in the coastal region of Pangeon, Biblia Chora's privately owned estate vineyard is situated at 380 metres altitude and extends over 78 hectares. With the striking Pangeon Mountain as the backdrop and the sea breeze coming from the Aegean Sea in front of the estate, the vines thrive in this mild Mediterranean climate, characterised by mild winters and cool summers. The wide diurnal temperature range encourages a long, slow maturation of the grapes, concentrating the flavours in the berries. The vineyard is cultivated according to strict ecological agricultural standards to respect the environment, local flora, and fauna. The vines are planted at a density of 4,000 plants per hectare, and all the work in the vineyard, such as leaf thinning and harvesting, is carried out by hand. The rocky and infertile soil has limestone and clay and good drainage levels. |
