- The enticing aromas of cherry and gooseberry are layered with delicate notes of floral acacia and spice. Silky smooth, with a fresh and fruity palate together with a delicious spicy character and a velvety finish.
The grapes are picked early, which gives a profile marked by natural acidity and fresh fruit aromas. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts in amphorae and 500-litre French oak barrels. The wine was aged on its fine lees, lasting for nine to 10 months in a combination of concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks, amphorae and approximately 20% in large French oak barrels of fourth use.

Winery | The Limniona grapes come from the mountainous areas of Karditsa, in the Thessaly region. The climate is strongly affected by the region’s inland position, exactly in the ‘heart’ of mainland Greece. The higher elevation results in a continental climate with greater seasonal and diurnal temperature variations. The cool-climate vineyards are located at between 600 to 1000 metres in elevation, at night the temperatures drop significantly resulting in high natural acidity and cool-climate red-fruit characters. The vines are trained using a variety of methods, which have been tailored to suit the variety, and vigour of the vine and the terroir, however, most are Double Cordon, to keep yields low and concentrate the flavours in the fruit. The majority of the vineyards are cultivated following organic principles, although they are not certified, and all grapes are hand-harvested in the cool of the night to retain freshness. |
