mountainous massifs that surround us lay the foundations for a special microclimate ideal for the white grape varieties we cultivate.

Terroir
The area of Kokinogia village has a very long viticulture and
winemaking tradition dating back to 1500 AD. The whole viticultural
area is a valley crossed by the river Aggitis and surrounded by the
mountain ranges of Mount Menikio and the mountain range of Agios
Pavlos (the end of massif Falakro) which protect the valley from North and West winds and create a special
micro-climate. Our vineyard is located on the named place “Amoudies” meaning sandy beaches, in reference
of the different layers of sand and pebbles created over the years on both sides of the river; provide our
vineyard with a very good drainage. The rocky and in some spots marble subsoil give all the mineral
structure to our grapes.
Winemaking
Our grapes are completely handpicked and destemmed. We start with a skin contact cold
maceration for 12 hours at 8 C. We collect only the free run juice as we use NO press. Focusing on the
highest quality characteristics we choose to vinify only the free run must, even if we lose 1/3 of our total
volume. 100% barrel-fermented in French oak barriques. After fermentation, the wine is gently stirred
(bâtonnage) during the 8 months of aging on fine lees. This classic technique enhances the aromatic richness
and complexity. A light micro-filtration is done just before bottling.
Tasting Description: Crystal pale yellow color with silver highlights. Νotes of nutmeg, roasted nutsin
alternance with citrus and floral. The high complexity of aromas also in the palate with buttery texture
vibrant acidity and a volcanic aspect is evident.
