Kotsifali Nature - Zoumberakis Vineyards is the minimal intervention wine that you must try! Zoumberakis Vineyards, in the village of Kali Sikia in Rethymnon, continues the family tradition in wine production, harmoniously combining respect for nature and their birthplace, with modern cultivation and winemaking methods.
The third generation of the family in 1996 gave a new lease of life to the winery and proceeded with a universal upgrade, concerning the production facilities, with new technology machinery, but also the expansion of the vineyards, which today reach 100 acres. At an altitude of 600-800 meters and in the imaginary extension of the White Mountains, the Kryonerites Mountain has the best climatic and soil conditions for the organic cultivation of native and international varieties highlighting their best characteristics.
For Kotsifali Nature, the grapes came from the privately owned vineyard of Agia Varvara, located at an altitude of 650 meters. Their juice remained for 10 days in contact with the grapes and fermented naturally with native yeasts in stainless tanks. It was then transferred to large oak barrels, where fermentation was completed. The wine "rested" for about 11 months, the tannins softened and it was bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfite.
A round and extra aromatic Kotsifali, with a velvety texture, makes it ideal to start the first barbeques at the balconies. Also know that in 5 years from now, its maturation will impress you!
