Let Vostylidi, Moschata, and Muscat "rest" in the bottle and enjoy the balanced character of Roditis orange wine. A wine with beautiful complexity, with characteristic aromas of baked orange peel and bitter orange with a spicy dose of fresh ginger, refreshing acidity on the palate and firm but not harsh tannins in a finish with a herbal-medicinal...
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...
The wine is organic and the vineyard is located in the area of Katogi (lower than the sea level) of Paliki. The small acreage yields of the vineyards (privately owned organic and cooperating) are from 30 to 50 years old and the wine is vinified in anoxic tanks with indigenous yeasts and bottled after remaining with the lees for about 8-9 months. Perfectly...
Aromas of apricot, tobacco and chaga and a mouthfeel with a rich honeyed texture but freshened by a generous dose of acidity in excellent balance with the ripe fruit. A few years in bottle and it will develop a lovely smoky expression rather reminiscent of toasted bread and reminiscent of the great terroirs of the world, such as that of Chablis....
Ripe fruit in the foreground along with spicier, mineral aromas and floral notes of dried flowers and nuts. The palate has a nice texture and moderate volume, balanced acidity and citrus peel with ripe apricot and banana. It is extremely enjoyable to drink and does not lack personality and character. Not intended for long aging but will evolve over 3-4...
Elegant and introverted aromatically, it has elements of the character of Muscatella, which anyway constitutes 70% of the blend. Ripe fruit, bergamot and ripe lemon, with citrus blossom and a vegetal quality reminiscent of the green part of the bud before it opens. Wet earth and earthiness intensify the layering of the aromas. The palate is more spicy...
Tensions and aromas that are universally captivating. Concentrated apricot, jams, figs, figs, raisins, thyme honey and spices, always, of course, through the floral signature of Muscat, which here emerges in the form of candied rose. It's hard to describe the explosion but also the crystal clarity of the aromas. The palate has a very nice richness but...
The harvest for the three varieties is simultaneous with Mavrodaphne at high maturity but Araklino and Korfiatiko at an earlier stage, providing the blend with serious vitality and excellent acidity. A wonderfully balanced wine with moderate volume and elegant tannins with texture that gives a sense of fullness in the mouth without a trace of astringency....
Such a special wine could only have an equally special name. The name Metagitnion refers to the second month of the Attic calendar (roughly late July to late August). Its almost orange colour is the result of slow oxidative ageing in old barrels without the protection offered by sulphites at any stage of the process. It is dry, with aromas of honey and...
