Mavro Kalavritino Rosé Nature comes from organic, dry vineyards over 30 years old, planted in clay-limestone soils on the cool slopes of mountainous Aegialia, at an altitude of 810 m. Cultivation without irrigation, low yields, and the cool sea breeze of the Corinthian Gulf produce grapes with an exceptional balance of fruit and acidity. The grapes are...
Orange Santameriana triggers explosions in both the nose and mouth. And while the aromas escalate to remind you of peel, bergamot, sweet orange and orange, in the mouth you are confronted with intense and disparate elements. It's as if a supercharger has exploded the overall taste experience. The tannins are the perfect wrapping to the oily texture of the...
A rosé out of the norm of the season, with dense fruit, nice structure and excellent balance and complexity. Indigenous yeasts, direct pressure, no contact of the juice with the skins and fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control in combination with the strictly selected fruit from the biodynamically certified vineyards of the...
Vidiano and Thrapsathiri from vineyards of the Rethymnon area at altitudes between 560-900m. The vines are a combination of younger vineyards and age-old autochthonous stumps on clay and shale soils, 10-100 years old. Iliana Malihin's classic - non-intrusive - winemaking with indigenous yeasts, minimal sulphites and no collage or filtration give a wine...
Along with Imaginador from the Cinsault variety, Vinista is the second of Pedro Parra's village (by Burgundy standards) wines, which means that the fruit comes from different vineyards. And even though Pedro was for many years a super-fan of the Cinsault varietal the Pais has slowly managed to capture his interest much more. It is perhaps this relevance...
Tight flesh, wonderfully athletic but without overdoing it. Next to the classic Chablis rigour, a silky, dense sensation is added, probably as a result of the wine's stay with the lees for several months. It is ripe but not with an intensely creamy and boringly buttery texture. Juicy citrus balances the mineral side of the wine and blends harmoniously...
Few winemakers today take such a focused approach. Limited labels, small production, and an unwavering attention to detail and quality are the hallmarks of Kostis Dalamaras. In Thóos, Assyrtiko dominates the blend, sourced from grapes harvested at different stages of ripeness to bring complexity to the wine. The Preknadi, on the other hand, comes from a...
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...
En Spois is one of the single-vineyard Vin Jaune wines produced by Tissot and comes from Savagnin grapes grown on clay soils from the Triassic period with eastern exposure. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged for 6 years in old barrels without filling in an oxidative manner. Aging takes place in 60% warmer and...
