They were among the pioneers of the category and while at first some looked at them very cautiously, then they not only got impressed by them but also followed them in the application of the same cultivation and winemaking techniques. Kontozisis winery, which is located in Karditsa, Thessaly, and from the day it was founded, in 1991, until today blindly defends organic farming, using zero chemicals, and ultimately the production of completely natural wines.
Andreas Kontozisis and Aphrodite Tousia, fought stubbornly for the promotion of their place and the terroir of the region and of course, they were justified, when they became one of the first to receive the certification of organic cultivation, while their wines made a splash in the United States.
The harvest is done only by hand, the yields of the vines are extremely low, free-flowing juice is always used, and the yeasts are only indigenous. This is the basic principle of producing completely natural wines, and as you understand, nature is grateful to them, resulting in the quality of the fruit being unique and their wines simply stunning.
Clear Skies Fear No Bolts is a blend of 60% Malagouzia, 25% Xinomavro, and 15% Assyrtiko, vinified separately, in a combination of white and rosé vinification, while the Malagouzia has remained for 2 months in concrete eggs, enhancing its complexity result.
Yes, just as you imagine, Clear Skies Fear No Bolts, is a natural wine derived from techniques with absolute respect for biodiversity, with fine floral aromas and a complex dimension, that will make its presence felt, wherever it is found.
