Inspired by the Red Walls of the fortress of Monemvasia and the traditional technique of “liassimo” - sun drying of the grapes used for the production of wines with great concentration and structure.
INFO
Selected, healthy, low-yielding grapes from our vineyard in Velies Monemvasia were harvested and sun-dried for approximately eight days.This was followed by multi-day long skin contact and at the same time alcoholic fermentation, for a total duration of thirty days (the maceration took place for fifteen days). Finally, the wine was aged in 225L oak barrels (second and third use) for eighteen months and in the bottle for three years.
Its color is deep red, with violet highlights.Intensely aromatic on the nose, with sweet spices and macerated red plums. Velvety mouthfeel, with plenty of vibrancy and a long aftertaste.
Serving temperature 17-18 ° C
VARIETY
Limniona
Red variety, favored in our area, which ripens late, in the end of September. Vivid vine with relatively large grapes and highly resilient to our region’s dry and hot climate. It has adjusted beautifully and gives off remarkably interesting wines with elegant tannins.
Agiorgitiko
Elegant red variety which ripens in our area in mid-September. Moderately vivid vine that, by following the suitable/proper viticultural practices in our region’s hot and dry climate, produces wines of high phenolic content.
