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
Harvest:
Picked by hand
Fermentation:
Amphora (100%)
Storage:

Winemaker:
Emmanouil Gkaralis
The ripe grapes are harvested late and arrive at the winery in small crates. Crushing and transfer of the grape mass to a clay amphora buried in the ground, outside the winery. Spontaneous start of alcoholic fermentation in the presence of the marcs with regular pigιage (immersion of the marcs in the must). Stay with the marcs for 6 months and 6 months without the marcs inside the amphora.
