En diskret parfym kittlar nostrilerna. Lite svavel dyker upp initialt. På tungan finner vi vita vinbär, citron, päron, nässlor, omogna krusbär, dyr olivolja, mineral, bivax.

The temperature is then allowed to rise naturally, without any further involvement. From that point on, modern technology passes the baton to traditional winemaking. Fermentation develops on its own at a gradual pace. The wild yeast strains that prevail are the ones which eventually determine the wine’s character. In every tank and barrel something different occurs. After the end of the fermentation, we choose only those tanks and barrels which, according to our expertise, raise the Assyrtiko to new levels of enjoyment.
