Vinifikation in den eigenen Worten des Winzers

Böden:

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.
