Producer's Description: The Paranga wine uniquely combines the grape varieties Xinomavro, Merlot, and Syrah. Its color is intensely red, while its bouquet is complex and reminiscent of raspberry with notes of green pepper. It has a light taste, volume, rounded character, and dominant acidity that ensures a long-lasting aftertaste. The mild tannins give the sensation of a well-shaped beautiful body in the mouth.VineyardThe Xinomavro comes from mountainous vineyards in Amynteo, while the Merlot and Syrah are sourced from selected vineyards in the Florina region. The vineyards are located in the viticultural zone of Amynteo, at an altitude of 600-700 meters. The area is ideal for producing wines with excellent finesse and rich aroma due to its poor, sandy soils, as well as its microclimate characterized by cold winters and warm summers, which is moderated by the four lakes surrounding it.Human intervention at the viticultural level focuses on two axes: increasing, where deemed necessary, the beneficial leaf surface area with the help of new supports and small but frequent irrigations during the ripening phase, when required by the year, to avoid water stress. The goal is for the varieties of the blend, besides the intense expression of their typical aromas, to possess a complete phenolic maturity.WinemakingPre-fermentation extraction is applied on intact grapes at a temperature of 12°C and in the presence of inert gas, lasting between 2-5 days depending on the quality of the raw material. The fermentation temperature is 20-22°C. The quality of phenolic maturity of the raw material, especially the giants, determines the duration of maceration of the must with the pomace (the less ripe the material, the shorter the maceration). To balance the high acidity of the Xinomavro, we aim to increase the creaminess with batonnage of the light lees twice a week, during the months of January to March. The blend does not undergo maturation in oak barrels, but only in tanks, where we aim to reproduce the environment of the barrel through micro-oxygenation. Malolactic fermentation is intentionally carried out on only 50% of the volume of the blend towards the beginning of Spring. The wine is bottled and rests in the bottle for 1-2 months.Wine IdentityType: Dry Red Category: Macedonian Local Origin: Selected vineyards of collaborating growers from Northern Greece Varietal composition: Xinomavro 45%, Merlot 30%, Syrah 25% Aging: 6 months in tank and 1 month reductive aging in the bottle Cellaring potential: 5 years Food pairing: Light and spicy with refreshing acidity and mild tannins.
