Classic expression of the indigenous Savatiano grape from vineyards just outside Athens, similar to an old vine Semillon.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from 7 blocks of 50 year old, low-yielding, unirrigated Savatiano vines in Markopoulo. They grow in limestone soil, on gentle north-facing slopes, at just 100m altitude. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-September, then undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 17˚C for around 20 days.
Complex, lightly savoury nose with herbal notes and delicate floral aromas. Ripe, peachy fruit on the palate, rounded and textural mouthfeel with a crisp, citrus-tinged, and lightly saline, minerally finish.
