Vineyard

At an altitude of 650 meters, we find the local Boutari vineyard, covering an area of 31 hectares. The largest area is covered by the indigenous variety Moschofilero. Other cultivated varieties are Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay and other Greek and international varieties that are under experimentation. The vineyard is 25-30 years old with a dry soil. A large area of the vineyard consists of eastern-facing gravel slopes, which ensures exceptional maturity and premium quality raw materials. The soils are clay and marl, with good drainage. The climate of the region is characterized as continental with cold winters and hot summers.

Vinification – Maturation

Very light pressing of white and red grapes to produce a high-quality, low-colour intensity juice. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature (18 - 20°C) in order to maintain a varietal aromatic character and produce the desirable secondary aromas. Minimum maturation in stainless steel tanks for a couple of months before bottling. It can be stored for 2 years.

Harmony

Ideally combined with pasta dishes with white or pink sauce, chicken, turkey, swordfish, tuna and other fishes. Also accompanies perfectly fruits and desserts based on strawberry and cherries.
