  • A juicy blend full of wild berried notes of blackberry, mulberry, raspberry and ripe strawberry with a hint of chocolate and violets, rounded with a deliciously moreish finish. A rounded and velvety blend with ample notes of wild blackberry, mulberry, raspberry, and ripe strawberry. Fine tannins and a juicy, berry-laden palate make for a very moreish finish.

Named after the Muse: Clio, the inspirational Goddess of History. The grapes were cold soaked at 8°C, followed by a seven-day maceration with selected yeasts and regular gentle punch downs to extract the flavours and soft tannins. Post-fermentation maceration lasted five days. Each variety was matured without the influence of oak for one month before being blended and matured for a further two months.

This is a rounded and velvety blend with ample notes of wild blackberry, mulberry, raspberry, and ripe strawberry. Fine tannins and a juicy, berry-laden palate make for a very moreish finish.

Winery

The vines are grown on the slopes of the Valley of the Muses at the foot of Mt. Helicon, at an altitude of between 500 and 570 metres and a gradient of between 3% and 7%. The continental climate in the region experiences cool, wet winters and warm summers. However, proximity to the small Permisos River helps to temper extremes. The bush vines were planted in 1947 in fertile soils of a mixed composition ranging from sandy loam to clay loam, producing rich aromatics wines. The vines have a north-to-south orientation, which helps the grapes reach optimal phenolic ripeness and sugar concentration. Cold air currents come down from Mount Helicon, cooling the vines and allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and retain acidity. Cultivated according to the principles of integrated agriculture, the grapes are hand-harvested in the cool of the early morning to protect the environment.
