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:
- Steel (100%)
- Storage:
- Steel (100%) 5 months
- Winemaker:
- Emmanouil Garalis
To create Terra Roza rosé, we have combined the white Muscat of 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 isput 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 begins spontaneously and when complete, bottling follows without stabilization, without filtration and without the use of sulphite.
