The wine is fermented with spontaneous yeasts in a combination of cement and oak tanks and is matured for eight months in them. It has that lovely peppery character of the Rhone wines but with very restrained alcohol and more fresh than overripe fruit. The tannins are soft and flowing on the palate, possessing both breadth and density. There's nothing to...
“The Arche” is both an end and a starting point; a moment that closes one cycle and opens a new one. The 2021 vintage, marked by the devastating wildfires that ravaged vast swathes of pine forest, gave its name to this reflection. The need to redefine our relationship with everything that gives life and identity to the land. The 1979 Kallos Arche 2021 is...
The old vineyard is located on a gentle south-facing slope, approximately 3.5 km northwest of the village of Crozes-Hermitage, at an elevation of 175 meters. The soil is primarily limestone, and the vineyard is surrounded by fruit trees, such as apricot trees, which contribute to the formation of a unique terroir. Winemaking involves direct pressing of...
Murray takes its name from the words Mulberry (Mu) and Rare (Ray) in reference to the choice of the old villagers to leave berry farming to plant White Muscat which responded well to the conditions of the area. It is an excellent expression of the local topography, as fresh as the air of the Monferatto mountains, sweet and cool at the same time. Its...
Here, the distinctive and unique style of Clos Cibonne reaches its apotheosis. One of the estate's top bottlings, from very old vines aged 60-70 years from the region's ancient Tibouren variety, with a small 10% Grenache component. Volume, thickness, richness and complexity of spice, quince spice, orange peel, saffron and dry fruit characters, with...
Its name in French comes from the small chapel located at the foot of the estate’s slopes. Despite its distinctive color, the wine was pressed directly in a vertical press from grapes of ancient vineyards of the Aspro Potamisi (80%) and Rozaki (20%) varieties, which were foot-crushed. The two varieties fermented separately with indigenous yeasts, and...
One of those wines that exerts a “spiritual charm” over you. Its beauty lies in its unconventional character. Nothing you’d expect from a Mediterranean red wine, but rather a perfect embodiment of the potential of the Tainian terroir in terms of freshness and elegance. A natural wine with no sulfur at all, which directly highlights the fruit and floral...
Since 2015, Jerome Binda has been producing Rosaki as a single-varietal wine in Voria, rather than just as part of a blend. Despite the variety’s reddish hue, the juice it yields produces a crystal-clear, golden wine, while the extended aging on the lees lends it complexity and enhances its salty profile. What it lacks in liveliness and acidity, it makes...
White Potamisi and Rozaki, blended with 20% of the red Mavro Potamisi, are harvested simultaneously from the vineyard, co-fermented, and left in contact with the lees for one year. Pappous, like all Domaine de Kalathas wines, is bottled without the addition of sulfites. Mineral notes, Mediterranean herbs, and oxidative notes—more spicy than...
The grapes are organically grown (without certification) and come mainly from the mountainous area of Thapsani in the centre of the island. The "Nees Rizes" are not so new since they come from a combination of vineyards, the oldest of which in cups and traditional "aplotaria" are 150 years old. The vinification is entirely non-intrusive, with spontaneous...
