BLANC DES COTEAUX CUVEE AMPHORA 2021 - THYMIOPOULOS VINEYARDS

Blanc Des Coteaux Cuvee Amphora - Thymiopoulos Vineyards is back for a second year, after the huge success of its first release. If you don't remember, it was voted the 8th best wine in the world by Decanter last year! And if you know Apostolos, you understand that the stake is very high and that he will do everything to make this vintage even better.

For the Blanc Des Coteaux Cuvee Amphora, the blend consists of 45% Assyrtiko, 35% Malagouzia, 15% Vidiano and 5% Aidani grown in certified organic vineyards in the village of Phytia, on the slopes of Mount Vermio. Malagouzia, Vidiano and Aidani are vinified with their skins in amphorae and after they are removed, they remain in contact with the fine lees for 10 months. On the other hand, the whole bunches of Assyrtiko are lightly pressed, but for a long period of time and fermented in wooden barrels, where they remain for a whole year. The wine is bottled unfiltered.

Apostolos Thymiopoulos is determined to continue the great success of Blanc Des Coteaux Cuvee Amphora so get ready to experience a great white wine from the hands of an extremely talented winemaker.

It has a soft golden color and impressive aromas of dried peach, and apricot surrounded by notes of honey, vanilla, and honeycomb. White flowers and aromas of tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple combined with subtle minerality and grapefruit aromas add intense freshness. The gentle botanical notes of chamomile, compose a very elegant effect.

In the mouth, it is of medium volume with refreshing acidity, while the aromas of honey and white flowers mingle nicely with the spiciness of white pepper. Sensibly oily and with an intense and long-lasting aftertaste.
