- A gloriously aromatic wine, its red fruit aromas complement complex notes of mocha, coffee, vanilla, and nutty oak flavours. It is round and balanced, with ripe tannins and a velvety texture that leads to a long finish.
Selected grapes were destemmed, crushed and inoculated with carefully selected yeasts. Co-fermentation took place of the two varieties in the same stainless steel tank. An extended maceration took place at 28°C to extract colour and structure and to allow the Agiorgitiko variety to express its opulent characteristics. Fermentation was followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine underwent four months of maturation on the lees with bâtonnage, followed by racking and maturation in 225-litre oak barriques, of which 25% were new, and 75% were second-use, for 12 months. This wine is only released after significant bottle ageing.

| Winery | The Agiorgitiko and Mavroudi vines are grown on the peninsula of Maleus at the edge of the Parnonas mountain range. The elevation of the vineyard ranges from zero to 500 metres. Surrounded by the Myrtoo Sea to the northwest and the Laconian Gulf to the southwest, the vineyards are influenced by the Mediterranean climate with high sunshine hours and sea breezes. The soils are acidic and are low in organic matter. All these factors contribute to creating a unique terroir, and the climatic conditions present an ideal environment for healthy vines, which are cultivated with minimal intervention. |
