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...

Southern Rethymno has unique vineyards at altitude, with pre-harvest roots that are over 100 years old and complex plantings of varieties such as Vidiano, Plyto, Thrapsathiri, Melissaki and...
The spicy, salty, orange-tinged character of Tradition Rose is a departure from a mainstream world that wants rosés in a certain style. The almost forgotten Tibouren, an ancient grape of the Mediterranean basin, is a "champion" for the estate and covers over 50% of the total plantings.
