Production

Hand-harvested at 22 °Brix and destemmed before pressing. Juice was protected from oxygen and stirred on lees for 8 months in stainless steel to build texture. Cold fermentation (14–16 °C) with selected yeasts maximised thiol expression.

Vineyard

Sourced from the Mavrokopa and Dessi vineyards at 220 m on the foothills of Mt Pangaion, where loose silty soils over dense clay retain water naturally. A mountainous Mediterranean climate and cool nights lock in bright aromatics.

Pairing

Ideal with grilled sea bass and fennel, roasted courgettes with lemon and herbs, or dolmades with yoghurt and mint.
