Mild vinification involves spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts and leaving the fermented wine in contact with the fine lees for 7 months. As the name of the variety suggests, Zakynthino travelled years ago from Zakynthos - where it is known as Pavlos - to Kefalonia. This is where the similarities end, as both in terms of...
Organically grown grapes from ungrafted vines of exceptional quality were the starting point. After destemming, they remained with the skins for one week in egg-shaped concrete tanks. Following gentle pressing at low pressure, fermentation was completed in the same concrete tanks, where the wine stayed in contact with the lees until bottling....
The Vidiano young vines come from three different vineyards in the village of Melamps in Rethymnon. The vines are dry, planted on slopes with an altitude of 650m from the surface of the sea level. The vinification is done in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and low sulphites. The wine is not clarified and the general interventions are...

One such wine, from the untouched terroir of the highlands of Paphos, is Alina. An excellent capture of the wild terroir of the area known as Vouni Panagia...

The base wines ferment in ancient oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, and are then sealed with cork in bottles for the second fermentation. They will remain in contact with the lees for many years. Completely dry, with excellent, fine...

The wine comes from the single-varietal vineyard surrounding the estate, with relatively young vines that have now completed the replanting of the family vineyard that began at least a decade ago. On...
85% Malbec and 15% Merlot to bring down the youthful "rigor" of the blend from organically cultivated vineyards on gravel and limestone soils with clay. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks at relatively high temperatures with very careful cap breaking, and each individual vineyard plot after being vinified separately will be blended in the...
