V for Vostilidi 2022

Les raisins, issus de 100 % Vostilidi, ont été rigoureusement sélectionnés dans le vignoble de Lixouri, à proximité de la plage de Vatsa. Les vignes, plantées dans les années 1980, se trouvent dans une région au sol argileux et à faible altitude, proche de la mer, bénéficiant de la brise fraîche soufflant depuis la côte. La récolte se fait entièrement à la main, et le vin fermente naturellement en cuves inox grâce aux levures indigènes. Il est ensuite élevé pendant 9 mois en fûts de chêne autrichiens de 2000 litres. Ce vin est produit en petites quantités, de manière la plus naturelle possible, sans filtration. Ce vin présente une robe dorée avec des reflets orangés. Il dévoile des arômes de miel d'acacia, de papaye confite, de confiture d'orange, d'abricot sec, de kumquat, de fleurs séchées et d'épices douces. En bouche, le vin est intense, texturé, suivi d'une acidité rectiligne et de petits tanins fins. La finale est digeste et minérale. 

Long known as small table wines, notably with Retsina, a white wine infused with pine resin, Greek wines have increased in quality over the last 20 years. The history of wine is as old as that of Greece. More than 3000 years ago, traces of the oldest grape presses in the world were found on the island of Crete. After stagnation throughout the 20th century, Greek wines experienced a dazzling improvement from a quality point of view thanks to its entry into the European Union, the training of young oenologists in very good European schools and particular attention to international demand. She does not want to take the easy route by using mainly great French grape varieties such as Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon which would greatly facilitate export. Nowadays, Greece wants to continue to cultivate and introduce its ancient grape varieties, which number around 300 in the territory. The very first thing to understand is that Greece is much more diverse in terms of climate than most people think. The country clearly has everything from arid Mediterranean islands to humid, mountainous pine forests that receive snowfall in winter. With such a diverse climate, you can expect Greek wines to be very varied as well. So, one of the best ways to get an idea of ​​Greek wine is to divide the country into four overall wine-growing zones based on their climate: Northern Greece (humid climate), Aegean Islands (arid climate). ), Central Greece and Southern Greece (Mediterranean climate). The potential and reputation are greatly underestimated today in the eyes of the general public, which may bring pleasant surprises!
