Almyra means “Salty”. These vineyards are located in Corinth, Peloponnese. The vines are very close to the sea planted on clay soils. The sea breezes here help the vines cool down during the hot summer days.

Tasting Notes

The color is green yellow with a few greenish hues. The nose is expressive with aromas of ripe peach, tropical fruit such as pineapple and hints of lemon. Aromas of butter, bread, and caramel follow. The mouth is rich, round, refreshing and balanced. The finish is long, complex, and with constant evolution.
