Tensions and aromas that are universally captivating. Concentrated apricot, jams, figs, figs, raisins, thyme honey and spices, always, of course, through the floral signature of Muscat, which here emerges in the form of candied rose. It's hard to describe the explosion but also the crystal clarity of the aromas. The palate has a very nice richness but...
The wine is vinified in a combination of large foudres and oak barrels and matured for about 12 months without stirring the lees. No other intervention is made in the wine and sulphites are at very low levels. Delicate and intense at the same time in its aromatic intensity, it unfolds aromas of lemon curd, peach, quince and fresh pineapple, along with...
Moinoterra's Vilana comes from a single vineyard at 500 metres altitude. And while in the fertile lowland parts of Crete and with management leading to high yields, the wines will lose their character by being watery and with little flavour, mountainous steep dry vineyards on poorer soils will give weight and concentration. At the vinification level after...

Peppery, structured, with robust tannins, the "Key of Sol" is another stunning wine with reference to Damien and Coralie's musical roots, always the start of a musical piece, but also the first wine made by the winery, their own start. A blend of 60% Côt and 40% Cabernet Franc which are vinified separately in concrete tanks. The harvest for Côt from the...
