The Assyrtiko and Semillon grapes were picked at optimum maturity and then carefully selected. The wine was vinified in the state-of-the-art winery, using modern techniques to retain aromatics and varietal flavours. Each variety was vinified separately in 225-litre French oak barrels, of which 50% were new and 50% were one year old. Maturation lasted for five months, with bâtonnage taking place in the barrel.

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 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 the harvest, is carried out by hand. The rocky and infertile soil has limestone and clay and good drainage levels. The vineyard is in conversion to organic. |
