Made from the indigenous Greek Malagousia and Assytiko grapes, Sirios White by Georgios Lafazanis Winery is a lovely, well-crafted, refreshing dry white wine. Its name, Sirios, derives from the Greek word Σείριος or Seirios, meaning “glowing” in Greek. Sirios or Sirius is the brightest star in Earth's night sky.

TASTING NOTES: A pale, lemon-yellow, mouth-filling white wine, with an aromatic fusion of ripe exotic summer fruits. The palate offers notes of nectarines, yellow peaches, melon, pineapple and passionfruit, with a balanced acidity and a long lingering finish.

FOOD PAIRING: This elegant wine is ideal with fresh fish or as a cool glassful on its own; its balanced acidity makes it perfect for your shellfish dish; drink it with linguine pasta alle vongole; pair with creamy spinach crepes; or try it with a seafood risotto.

SERVING TIPS: Serve at 10-12 °C in wine glasses with foot, elongated stem and small bowl to preserve the aromas and maintain cool temperature.

WINE MAKING PROCESS: After harvest, the grapes are quickly and carefully transported to the winery. The pre-fermentation extraction lasts for 14 hours at 12°C.The alcoholic fermentation takes place at 15°C in stainless steel refrigerated tanks, where it is kept for one additional month. The presence of lees and the periodical baronage give the wine freshness and texture.
