70% XINOMAVRO, 30% MERLOT Red Dry Wine Protected Geographical Indication Imathia
VINIFICATION
Selection starts in the vineyard and is completed on the sorting table before the grapes are transferred to the tanks. A period of pre-fermentation cold maceration is followed by fermentation temperatures of 18 – 22°C. The extraction and alcoholic fermentation last about 20 days and are followed by malolactic fermentation.
MATURATION
18 months aging in French oak barrels of 300lt. Reductive aging in the bottle for an additional 18 months.
TASTING NOTES
Aromatically rich and particularly complex bouquet with aromas of spices, sun-dried tomato, and red fruits. In the mouth, it evolves into an enjoyable interplay between flavor intensity, acidity, and tannins.
