Total with a light taste, volume, round character, but also dominant acidity that ensures long-lasting aftertaste. Mild tanikotita mouth gives the impression of a beautiful carved somatos.
Vineyard
Xinomavro from mountain vineyards Amynteo, while the Merlot and Syrah from select vineyards in the Prefecture of Florina. The vineyards are growing zone Amyndeo, at 600 -700 meters The area is ideal for producing wines with great finesse and rich aroma thanks to the poor and sandy soils, but also the microclimate with cold winters and hot summers, which is softened by the four lakes that surround it.

To balance the high acidity of Xinomavro, we seek to increase the oiliness batonnage with light lees 2 times a week for the quarter January - March.
