HARVEST
Produced from a small, low-yielding vineyard in Goumenissa. We regulate the yield through strict pruning, regulation of irrigation, and green harvest. At the winery, our main goal is to produce a wine that exhibits all the typical characteristics of the cultivar. We perform a very long post vinification maceration up to 2 months. The wine is then aged 12-15 months in oak barrels and at least one year in the bottle before its release.

VINIFICATION
Late harvest, long skin contact, maturation in oak barrels for 18 months.
