- Kydonitsa is Greek for quince, and this wine is true to its name, showing ripe quince and elegant aromas of tropical fruits. It is creamy and fully flavoured on the palate, with a mouthwatering freshness and a long, aromatic, sweetly spiced finish.
The grapes were carefully selected, destemmed and crushed. The free-run juice was extracted by grinding, while the press wines were gently extracted at pressures of a maximum of one bar. The juice was settled at 13°C. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel at 16°C, lasting 15 to 20 days. The wine did not undergo malolactic conversion, resulting in a wine with a fresh, pure style. It was matured on the lees for five months, with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring) imparting texture and complexity.

| Winery | Kydonitsa is a rare, old local variety and one of the components of the legendary wine Malvasia. The vineyard is located on the peninsula of Maleus at the foothills of the Parnonas Mountain range at an altitude of 80 metres above sea level. Surrounded by the Myrtoo Sea to the North West and the Laconian Gulf to the South West, the vineyard is influenced by a Mediterranean climate with high sunshine hours and coastal sea breezes. The soils are clay loam and rich in minerals. All these factors contribute to creating a unique terroir, and the climatic conditions present an ideal environment for healthy vines, which are cultivated organically. |
