A rare Greek grape, an unexpected style of wine. Chidiriotiko of Lesvos in its most extreme winemaking style has a distinct temperament for those wanting to expand their horizons.
Images shown above are indicative
Distinct orange color resulting from the winemaking process. Aromas such as orange marmalade, tangerine and bergamot. Dry and full-bodied with rich texture and a balanced acidity. Medium intensity with a long, mineral finish. Special character, far from those, copy-paste 'recipes' available worldwide.

More Information

Producer Methymnaeos
Producer's Description Appellation: Protected Geographical Indication Lesvos 

Varietal Composition: 100% Chidiriotiko grapes

Production Techniques: Fermentation without temperature control, instead of the temperature of 19° C applied to white Methymnaeos. The higher temperature gives to orange Methymnaeos its characteristic color, as well as more body than that of Methymnaeos white.

Characteristics: Orange color. Bouquet combines muscat with orange, both fresh and in the form of marmalade. Tannic, earthy ending with a strong minerality, originating from the volcanic soil of western Lesvos where our vines are grown.

Serving Suggestions:  Serve chilled as stand-alone wine or with salmon, duck and exotic, non-western dishes like sushi. Works well as an aperitif or after-dinner wine.
