Winemaker's Note
Garnet red color, typical to Xinomavro and the age of the vines. On the nose, fruit-forward -mainly wild strawberries and cherries-, together with fine notes of herbs and rose. The aromatic profile rolls into the palate where the velvety tannins and the racy acidity offer balance and zest to the mouthfeel. Long aftertaste, always with the trademark finesse of the Amyndeon terroir.

This wine is a constant viti- project in progress aimed at tracking down, preserving and reviving old Xinomavro vines in the PDO region of Amyndeon. A dedicated effort by our team of viticulturists for over 20 years now, standing by small growers, supporting them with know-how all-year-round, giving them incentive to pass on this precious legacy to next generations. Each vintage is produced from a “pool” of selected parcels that meet the criteria of vine age (40 – 60 years), mindful vine growing and quality, while the quest for future vintages and new vine parcel discoveries never ceases.
Rigorous grape sorting on conveyor belt. The berries are cooled at 8-10°C. Destemming, crushing and skin-contact for 6 days at a temperature of 10°C. Fermentation for 2 weeks, followed by post-fermentation maceration for 7 days. Malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels (mostly old). Maturation for 12 months with mild periodical lees stirring. One-year cellaring before released in the market.
