Description:
Vintage 2023 gave us the opportunity to experiment. We blended our two vineyards from different areas with distinct soils, altitudes and aspects, to get one of the most complete wines since our humble beginnings.
A 60% Xynisteri from our Trimiklini vineyard at 650 meters in the north-east corner of the Krasohoria area, and 40% from our already 8 years old Farmakas vineyard at 1100 meters with a northern orientation.
This combination gave us the best of the two worlds. The mineral and ripe-fruit-driven character of the limestone vineyard of Trimiklini and the freshness and crispiness of the high-altitude vineyard of Farmakas with the unique Troodos Ophiolite soils.
A star bright wine with a low concentration of a pale straw color with a few golden highlights on the edge.
On the nose the wine offers a delicate and youthful character of ripe orchard fruits, with yellow apples and asian pear. The typical aromas of stone fruits like white peach and apricots are shining with a touch of ripe citrus notes of tangerines on the palate.
The floral element of chamomile and hawthorn is in the background with a slight cheese-rind character coming through from the extended lees ageing in the egg-shaped cement tank.
On the palate, the wine is dry with the low alcohol making it and ideal summer wine to enjoy either on its own or with an array of appetisers and fruits.
