From the first sip of Odyssey Day 20, you will know that it has come to stir the waters! Following on from the winery's previous labels, we continue to wonder, which wine will ultimately be our favorite?!
Panagiotis Tzimas, a chemist-oenologist by profession, fell so madly in love with wine that he decided to take this love to the extreme. In 2013 he started attending the courses for the WSET Diploma, one of the most important titles in the field of wine worldwide, while at the same time he started to set up his own vineyard in Kalomodia of Arta. In the natural bay of Amvrakikos, created by the intrusion of the Ionian Sea, the soil is rich in clay, calcium and marine fossils. This type of soil is responsible for some of the world's most luscious and rich red wines. The vineyard is located just a few kilometers away from the bay with the roots of the vines approaching the soil with sea water, later expressing notes of iodine and minerality in the wine.
After an explosive collection of bottlings, the twelfth in a row surprises us differently. The label on the bottle, designed by an artist friend of the Jima family, is again captivating. Like staring at a painting and somehow travelling to the sea. The new adventurous Odyssey will take its rightful place next to the heroic wines of the estate and will enter with its head held high!
Odyssey Day 20 consists of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine is fermented with selected yeasts and matures in 100% new oak barrique barrels (225lt). They bottle it unfiltered in limited bottles!
You can enjoy it fresh, or let it decorate your cellar. A little bit, or for the next 10 years...it will be just as enjoyable!
