Etna Bianco was first put into production in 2005 and Carricante is the dominant variety in the blend with a percentage of 70% depending on the year. Carricante is a grape defined by the minerality and saltiness of the terroir. A feast of other field-blends such as Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia make up the rest of the wine. Etna's whites are still...
Kapnistos is the embodiment of the true vigneron with a French “touch.” The organic vineyard and the dedication of Kostis and Maria to the family winery, with its deep viticultural tradition, produce not only exceptional Xinomavros, but also this special white wine, which has gained a cult following. The wine is complex, full-bodied, and multidimensional,...
On the hill of Paliochalia, in the central-southern part of the zone, the estate's privately owned old vines have been cultivated organically since 1996. The wine is of astonishing complexity, although it takes years to develop its full potential. It matures for about 12 months in French oak barrels and is bottled unfiltered to preserve its flavor...
DD is a tribute to Andre Tissot, Stephane's father, known by the nickname DD, and reflects a traditional Jura winemaking style. The Pinot Noir is harvested whole and undergoes three weeks of semi-carbonic maceration in conical wooden vats, while the Poulsard (25%) and Trousseau (40%) are destemmed by hand and ferment spontaneously. They are aged for three...
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...
The wine comes from two organic vineyards at 1,050 meters altitude — one with a western exposure (Agios Ilias) and the other with an eastern exposure (Allama ton Gynaikon). The vines are bush-trained (gobelet), dry-farmed without irrigation, and within the vineyard, Yiannoudi is interplanted with Spourtiko, Morokanella, and Xynisteri — a common practice...
Organic and biodynamic vineyards at the end of the village with the classic non-interventionist winemaking of Deiss, which allows the terroir to express itself freely in their wines. Whole bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and maturation with the lees for 12 months in foudres. The soils are rich in silica, with a clay-limestone subsoil. A dry...
Vineyards with newer plantings and old ones, whose age exceeds 140 years and managed to survive the great fire of 2022 in Melamps and gave this wine a very small production. A truly unicorn wine, produced by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks and with low sulphites. A terribly difficult year after the fire, but the result shows the dynamism...
Asyrtiko Barrique comes from 18-year-old vineyards in Pella, planted in limestone, clay, and granite soils, with a north–south orientation and cultivated organically using permaculture principles. The harvest is done by hand, and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. This is followed by maceration with whole grapes for 7 days in a stainless...
Bucephale is a natural red wine made from 100% Xinomavro grapes grown in organic vineyards cultivated using permaculture principles at an altitude of 300 meters. The soils (limestone, clay, granite, and silicate elements) impart structure and complexity. The harvest is done by hand and is followed by destemming, with whole-cluster maceration for 21 days...
