- This blend of Limnio and Moschomavro shows a complex bouquet, with gooseberry and blueberry from the Moschomavro grapes; and cherry, plum with hints of clove and cinnamon from the Limnio. Velvety smooth on the palate with a fresh and elegant finish.
This wine is a blend of two indigenous varieties: Limnio (pronounced LIM-neeo), which
produces full bodied wines, with a relatively high alcohol content and a distinctive
herbal character of bay leaves; and Moschomavro (Mosho-MAV- roh) which produces
fresh wines, with noticeable acidity, soft tannins and aromas redolent of ripe red fruit,
grapes and cloves. The vineyard is located in Drama, where the microclimate has
been considered the perfect spot for grape cultivation since ancient times. Situated at
an altitude of 200 to 300 metres above sea level, the vines are cultivated in the
traditional way and are planted in linear rows. The soil has a high clay content, which
retains moisture during the warm, dry summers to nourish the vines.
Stavros Manolesakis and his father George Manolesakis started creating their own vineyards in 1989, planting Greek varieties alongside international varieties. Embracing the philosophies of culture, love and a passion for winemaking, it prompted them to
establish their own wine company: Manolesakis Estate in 1999. Keen to experiment and break winemaking boundaries, they have equipped the winery with the latest technological machinery, in order to produce the best results.
