Samaropetra Sauvignon Blanc
- White
- Sauvignon Blanc (100%)
Vinification & Aging
Grapes are harvested by hand and cold soaked in order to maximize the extraction of aroma precursors into the must. Fermentation takes place at cold temperatures in stainless steel tanks.
The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 2 to 4 months with regular batonnage.
Ecosystems
The grapes are sourced primarily from contract growers and vineyards within the Amyndeon Appellation in Northwestern Greece. The area sees cold winters and warm summers, but the surrounding lakes create a unique mild microclimate resulting in high fruit concentration and ripeness with complex and rich aromas.
Tasting Notes
A refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with complex aromas of kiwi, passion fruit and grass. On the palate, the wine is rich with sense of flowers and citrus while it is characterized by a crispy acidity. Long lip-smacking aftertaste composes a beautifully textured Sauvignon Blanc that reflects its cold mountainous origin.
