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

Ernte:

Picked by hand

Fermentation:

Steel (100%)

Lagerung:

Steel (100%) 3 months

To create the Retsina Garalis rosé, we have combined the white Moschato Alexandria variety and the red Limnio variety. The grapes arrive at the winery in small crates. For Muscat of Alexandria we have blasting, transfer of the grape mass to winemakers, pre-fermentative extraction with recycling for 5 days and cooling of the tank so that fermentation does not start. At the same time, the Limnio is put into a decanter with a few hours of extraction and part of it is sent to the Muscat tank for the blending of the two varieties. Fermentation starts spontaneously and when it is finished, quality pine resin from Halkidiki is added to the tank and recycling takes place for a week, until the wine acquires its characteristic aroma. This is followed by bottling without stabilization, without filtering.
