Spira Solera is produced exclusively from Xinomavro grapes grown in organic vineyards in Pella at an altitude of 100 meters. The harvest is done by hand, and the must is separated from the skins in a blanc de noir vinification process in stainless steel tanks. The juice is transferred to 400L oak barrels to complete fermentation and is then added to the...
Low yields per acre, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and the absence of added sulfites form the basis of the winemaking process. The wine ages for 6 years and 3 months in partially filled barrels without topping up (non ouillé), with the development of a voile that protects it and defines its oxidative character. Aging takes place 60% in...
Murray takes its name from the words Mulberry (Mu) and Rare (Ray) in reference to the choice of the old villagers to leave berry farming to plant White Muscat which responded well to the conditions of the area. It is an excellent expression of the local topography, as fresh as the air of the Monferatto mountains, sweet and cool at the same time. Its...
Chardonnay Nature comes from a 4-acre organic, non-irrigated vineyard with northern exposure, at an altitude of 810 meters in the mountainous region of Aegialia. The vinification follows a classic white approach, using only free-run juice and minimal intervention. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts at 16–18 °C and is followed by...
Such a nose defines the Old World; it recalls some great aged Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from Emidio Pepe, with a slightly aggressive initial impression that ultimately transforms into something soft. Like a wild hand that, over time, has learned to caress. Tremendous energy and a complex character, where primary and especially tertiary aromas such as...
Yiannis Oikonomou releases almost simultaneously two different vintages of Assyrtiko — two exceptional wines of equal quality but entirely distinct style. Among them, the 2016 stands out with its deep golden hue and its impressive aromatic evolution, dominated by complex oxidative notes, without a trace of the petrol character often found in aged...
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...
