Notes from the Producer:
A name that suggests something ethereal or heavenly, perfect for a wine that is both aged and made with careful crafts manship. It implies purity, aligning with the “zero dosage” and unfiltered nature of the wine. The wine will be made from 40-60 year old carefully selected ungrafted xinomavro vineyards, handpicked in the year 2019. Then fermented on wild yeast for 25% in 20hL foudres, unfiltered, zerodosage, and disgorged in November 2025.
Tasting Notes: The most exclusieve xinomavro. A stunning sparkling blanc de noirs of unique expressiveness and extraordinary bubbles. Yellow-gold, Lucent like the setting sun reflecting on the seawater. Full-frontal and charmingly fresh fruits, salt-marinated lemon peel andhay, blending in a flirt with the nasal senses that lasts for a long time. The fruits of the earth and the labour of our hands deserve celebration, which we find in the soul of this glass.
