Malagouzia, Vidiano and Aidani are vinified with their skins in amphorae and after the skins are removed, they continue their maturation there, in contact with the fine lees, for 10 months. On the other hand, the whole bunches of Assyrtiko are lightly pressed and then the wine fermented in largw oak barrels, where it matured for a whole year. The wine is bottled unfiltered.

It has pale golden color and impressive aromas of dried peach, and apricot surrounded by notes of honey, nutmeg, and bergamot. Aromas of white and yellow flowers, roasted nuts, subtle minerality, and hints of grapefruit and tangerine complement the already impressive bouquet.

On the palate, it has medium to full body and refreshing acidity, while the aromas of honey and white flowers mingle pleasantly with the spiciness of white pepper and ginger. Oily mouthfeel, with subtle tannins and an intense and long-lasting finish.
