Muses Estate Assyrtiko 2024

Muses Estate's Assyrtiko is crafted from 100% Assyrtiko grapes cultivated in the Valley of
the Muses at 500 to 700 meters above sea level, situated on the slopes of Mount
Helicon in Central Greece on clay and gravel soils, which provide good drainage and
water retention and allowing deep root penetration, enabling vines to absorb essential
minerals. The vineyards benefit from cool breezes from Mount Helicon, which help
regulate temperatures during the hot summer months, preventing excessive heat stress
on the vines and with diurnal temperature variation (hot days and cool nights), giving
optimal balance between ripeness and acidity, giving freshness. The 60-65 year old
vines are cultivated as bush vines (goblets) with deep root systems well-suited to the
region’s dry conditions and are dry-farmed without irrigation. Natural ground cover is
maintained to improve diversity, and no synthetic herbicides or pesticides are used.
