The great lady of the theater, Katina Paxinou, adorns the label of Kydonitsa Barrique 2021 from Ktima Ligas. The introverted, great actress who was transformed on stage fits perfectly with the shy Kydοnitsa which, in the right hands, can do great things.
Behind this wine is the beloved Ligas family. Thomas Ligas together with his daughter Melisanthi, are constantly experimenting with new techniques based on mild natural vinification. Their philosophy can be summarized as follows: permaculture *, zero interventions in wine, no sulfites, no commercial yeasts. Kydonitsa Barrique 2021 ferments with ambient yeasts and matures in old, large, oak barrels for 8-12 months. It is unfiltered and the result is as exuberant and engaging as Katina Paxinou was.
Such a diamond could only be bottled in a strictly limited number of bottles, and of the 3 Barrique wines of the winery it is always the first to run out!
*Permaculture takes its name from permanent agriculture and refers to a way of cultivation that ensures a sustainable production life cycle. In simple terms, the cultivation of the vine does not compete with nature but cooperates with her to achieve sustainability and viability of the environment.
