The vineyard, planted with \u003cstrong\u003epre-phylloxera vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over 50 years old, lies on lean soils composed of schist and granite. Exposed to a temperate continental climate, with cool nights and sunny days, this unique plot culminates at an altitude of 450 meters. These ideal conditions allow for a slow and balanced maturation of the \u003cstrong\u003eXinomavro,\u003c\/strong\u003e giving birth to a confidential cuvée that fully expresses the singularity of a lively and pure terroir, in a profoundly original interpretation of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"1362\" data-start=\"713\"\u003eVinification is carried out with the greatest respect for the raw material. The grapes, harvested manually at full maturity, are partially destemmed before being vatted without the addition of chemical yeasts, for spontaneous fermentation. Gentle maceration extends over around twenty days without mechanical extraction, in order to preserve the elegance of the fruit. Aging continues for 12 months in used 500-liter French oak barrels, which allow the purity of the grapes to freely express themselves without altering their identity. No fining or filtration is carried out before bottling, in the interest of absolute authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1986\" data-start=\"1364\"\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong data-end=\"1412\" data-start=\"1396\"\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"1433\" data-start=\"1414\"\u003epomegranate\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ewild strawberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-end=\"1456\" data-start=\"1435\"\u003eripe raspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1484\"\u003edried rose\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eviolet,\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"1525\" data-start=\"1504\"\u003ewild herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-end=\"1542\" data-start=\"1527\"\u003eleather\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-end=\"1595\" data-start=\"1575\"\u003eflint\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong data-end=\"1653\" data-start=\"1635\"\u003eblond tobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-end=\"1676\" data-start=\"1657\"\u003esweet spices\u003c\/strong\u003e .
