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

Separate vinification of each grape variety with a small percentage of cold maceration to obtain the desired aromatic intensity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature (18 - 20 °C) in order to maintain the varietal aromatic character and to produce the desirable secondary aromas. Blending takes place after alcoholic fermentation to produce a well-structured and balanced fresh wine.

Harmony

Best paired with chicken, turkey and fatty fish. Excellent pairing with cheese platters, salads and fruit.

Best Served

At 8 - 10°C
