HARVEST

The Merlot was harvested prematurely, thanks to the dry weather conditions in the months of July and August, which contributed to the rapid ripening of the grapes. Xinomavro derives from our selected and specially managed vineyards, where a special cultivation and plant protection model is applied.

VINIFICATION

The two varieties are harvested and vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by 6 weeks of maceration and 8 months of ageing in oak barrels.
