WinemakingRigorous grape sorting and destemming by hand on conveyor belt for each variety separately. For Mandilaria, fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks, concrete vats and open 500lt wood vats, while for Mavrotragano in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats. 12-month maturation for both varieties in French oak barrels (2nd and 3rd use /only 10% new) of mainly 500 lt with periodical lees stirring (bâtonnage) during the first months. Blending before bottling.
Tasting Note Vibrant ruby red color. Intensely fruit-forward nose, mostly of cherry and strawberry. The oak is well integrated adding delicate sweet notes of vanilla on the background. On the palate, medium-bodied with a lively acidity that offers a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. Lingering finish.
