We don't believe there is any other wine that could better express Yiannis Oikonomou's aesthetic of what he defines as a great wine. Antigone takes you on a unique journey into a world where perfection is defined by concepts such as authenticity and truth. An important terroir, defined here by the great Liatiko grape and the old pre-phylloxera vineyards,...
Wonderfully rich and concentrated, in a combination of fresh fruit with quince, honey and tahini. Those who love Rhone white wines will love it. The acidity is not prominent but perfectly balances the slightly oily texture of the wine. The combination of Macabeu and Grenache Gris from average ninety year old vines is vinified with indigenous yeasts in...
The wine is vinified by means of carbonic maceration and with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulphites during vinification and maturation of the wine. A small percentage of sulphites is added only before the wine is bottled. The philosophy of winemaking with minimal intervention, just as it does with its fantastic cru, is followed in Wild...
In the cru of Regnie are most of Julien Sunier's own vineyards in great "Lieux dits" such as En Oeillat. Here the vines are old, with an average age of 60 years, and are located at an altitude of between 280-400 meters on pink granitic sand with clay in the subsoil. Vinification is in an anaerobic environment (maceration carbonic) for about 10-20 days and...
Classical carbonic and semi-carbonic maceration with whole bunches for 10 to 20 days, followed by pressing in an old vertical press and maturation of the wine for 8-11 months in 10-year-old barrels in contact with the lees. This is a wine with the "upbringing" of a great Burgundy, elegant, light and ethereal, with lovely, clean fruit and a "tight"...
To the east of the famous D974, the vineyard is located on sandy soils with several stones and the old vines have extremely complex genetic material from mass selection which seems to be able to produce fruit with intense aromas. The tannins have excellent structure, as fine as cigarette paper, but "layered" on multiple levels that make it seem more...
