Vinification, winemaker's own words
Soils:
Clay, Volcanic
Terroir:
The terroir of Limnos is defined by its volcanic soils, low altitude landscapes, and strong Aegean winds. The island’s sandy and clay loam soils, rich in minerals, provide excellent drainage and encourage deep root growth, while the abundant sunshine and dry climate reduce disease pressure and promote full ripening. Cooling sea breezes and the persistent “Meltemi” winds help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity in the grapes, creating wines that are fresh, structured, and distinctly expressive of their island origin

Winemaker:
Emmanouil Gkaralis
The grape arrives at the winery in small crates. Burst, transfer of the grape mass to vinifiers and alcoholic fermentation with commercial yeasts for 7 days. Light pressure in a pneumatic press andtransfer of the wine to stainless tanks for malolactic conversion. Descaling, filtering and bottling.
