| Winery | The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard called Gouriona in Plataea, a small village at the foot of the Kitheronas Mountain in Central Greece. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 250 to 320 metres elevation. During the autumn and winter months, cool air masses blow down from the mountains, carrying dew, which refreshes the vineyard with crucial humidity. Cold winters, hot summers, and long, dry autumns combine with long periods of sunshine to enable the grapes to reach excellent maturity and complexity. The Savatiano variety is suited to the hot, dry climate as it has excellent drought-resistant properties. The grapes for this wine come from old vines of 60 to 65 years, which are pruned according to the traditional goblet style and produce low yields of concentrated fruit. Harvest takes place at night, contributing to preserving varietal aromas and natural acidity. |
