Ktima Biblia Chora Ovilos Magnum White 1.5L (2019), White Dry Wine

Tasting Characteristics

The wine has a bright yellow colour with light green hues. Its fine nose is expressive, with aromas of apricot and honey coexisting with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. All of the above are enhanced by a delicate sense of nuts and vanilla absorbed from the barrel. Its rich complexity is in perfect balance with the wealth of aromas of fruit, honey and nuts, and its refreshing acidity.

Variety Composition

Assyrtiko – Semillon

Vineyard

The estate-owned vineyard that today occupies 57 hectares, 380 metres above sea level, surrounds the winery.

Vinification & Maturation

After a brief pre-fermentation maceration of the grapes, the wine is fermented in French oak barrels. A few months in their wooden (oak) residence and their contact with the lees highlight their varietal character and add a rich complexity. It is aged for up to 8 years, and develops into a rich, full-bodied wine with an exquisite bouquet of aromas.

Harmony

Food pairing large grilled fish, seafood risotto, sushi, duck or stuffed turkey, rich cheese souffle.
