“Les Fossiles” is vinified in stainless-steel vats and left on fine lees for six months, acquiring a nicely oily body. But acidity eventually “stimulates” the palate, penetrating the fat and combining with fragrant spices, ripe pear and white-fleshed peach. Spicy and mineral on the finish, this is a wine with an extremely versatile style. It can easily be...
Low yields, organic farming and the daily presence and involvement of Michalis Tsafarakis in the vineyard he loves so much are key points in the quality of the wines he produces. Only 1400 bottles are produced from this excellent rosé which is pressed directly as soon as the grapes are broken to get just enough colour. Pre-fermentative maceration at low...
Melissaki, whose name derives from its honeyed aromas, was rescued from the slopes of Psiloritis and is cultivated in the Geroditis vineyard of the estate at an altitude of 480m. Vinification takes place in contact with the skins for one month in 400-liter first and second-use barrels and with yeasts isolated from this particular vineyard. The wine is not...

From dry, low-yield vineyards on the slopes of Thessaly, IÓ rosé is a wine whose grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts after first being macerated with the skins for about 4 hours. The wine remains in contact with the lees for 3 months and is bottled after gentle filtration and with low sulphite addition.
A percentage of 10% of the grape stays in contact with the peels for six days while the rest is taken to the pneumatic press where the whole bunches are pressed. The fermentation starts spontaneously and the wine will remain in contact with the wine lees for 6 months while for most of the time the Bâtonnage technique is applied and no sulfites are added...
Singulier comes from different vineyards cultivated biodynamically, like all Tissot vineyards, mainly on clay soils with limestone subsoil and using traditional natural methods. The grapes are carefully destemmed by hand; two-thirds are macerated for about a month in wooden conical tanks with regular pigeage, while the remaining third remains for three...
