We finally managed to find the rarest wine of Ktima Ligas, the Sauvage Bleu! Why rare? Because it is released only in exceptional vintages, it is not based on Xinomavro (as usual) but on Limniona, and normally its few bottles are pre-sold before it is even released!
Thomas Ligas studied Oenology in France and when he came back, he created his own winery, just outside Giannitsa, with the aim of highlighting the unique microclimate and the Greek grape varieties. Later, his children, Melissanthi and Jason, followed in his footsteps and studied enology in France, while learning the philosophy of permaculture. The vines of the estate are cultivated without chemicals and pesticides and the wines are vinified naturally, with ambient yeasts and without additives, as they believe that this is the only way to showcase the typical character of each variety and the terroir. Sauvage Bleu is created only in exceptional years and it is one of Ligas's most special wines since it is from the rare Limniona grape variety. The wine was fermented with ambient yeasts and matured for a few months in French oak barrels. It is bottled unfiltered and without any other intervention.
Sauvage Bleu Ktima Ligas is a wine that you should not miss.
