Product notes
The grapes at 750 meters above sea level come from the Agios Panteleimon wine growing area in the Amyndeon appellation in Florina in northwestern Greece. The orientation of the vineyard can reach 15%. The region's climate is continental and characterized by cold winters and hot summers and is tempered by the region's four surrounding lakes which act as a buffer zone.
Production notes
All Sauvignon Blanc grapes from irrigated vineyards undergo a period of cold maceration, in order to maximize the extraction of aroma precursors in the must. Fermentation takes place at temperatures between 16 and 18°C in stainless steel tanks. The final stage consists of batonnage on the lees for 2 to 4 months, assisted by enzymes, in order to shape the final fatty character of the wine.
Tasting notes
A refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with complex aromas of passion fruit and grass. On the palate, the wine is rich with notes of flowers and citrus while it is characterized by a crisp acidity. Balanced, exuberant and easy to drink Pairing with salads and seafood or alone as an aperitif
