Vinification Manual harvesting between 15-30/9. 5 days' prefermentation maceration at 7-10C followed by 10 days' fermentation in stainless steel at 15-28C. Post fermentation maceration for 12 days t 22-24C. 2 months' lees contact. 16 months' in French oak. Unfiltered. Bottled March 2005.
Taste Profile This first vintage from the new estate run by Tselepos in the Koutsi district of Nemea promises great things: a generous wine that combines lusty tannins with an abundance of ripe fruit, enriched by hints of eucalyptus and green pepper. It is very smooth and has a velvety finish. It will repay several years' cellaring.
