Tasting note
A vivid mousse composed of small-sized bubbles enhances the aromatic character of the wine. Floral notes from Xinomavro and Muscat make up a complex aromatic character, balanced by the wine’s freshness and highlighted by its lingering finish.
Viticulture
Sourced from Agios Panteleimon within the Amyndeon appellation in Florina, NW Greece. The high altitude (600m) and the poor sandy soils of the area lead to the production of wines displaying finesse and a rare aromatic character. The four surrounding lakes that act as a buffer create perfect weather conditions.
Vinification
The must is composed of grapes selected on the basis of their sugars, phenol and acidity content. Grapes chilled pre-pressing, then thrice pressed; second press yields Xinomavro Sparkling. Initial fermentation via traditional method. Secondary fermentation in tanks creates bubbles. Aged on lees 5 months, then 5 more in bottle.
Food Match
Excellent match to finger food served at a party, it can also be enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif or dessert.
