Lamda Assyrtiko Ktima Liga was one of the first orange wines of the new generation and one of those that first conquered the foreign audience and then the Greek. For many, it is probably the best Greek orange wine, with excellent aging potential. For us, it is just a delicious, gastronomic wine.
Thomas Ligas was one of the pioneers who brought the philosophy of biodynamic cultivation to Macedonia. With his children, Jason and Melisanthi, by his side they took things one step further. Their philosophy is summarized in the following: permaculture, minimal interventions both in the vineyard and in the wine, no sulfites or commercial yeasts.
Lamda Assyrtiko Domaine Ligas is an Assyrtiko that ferments with skin contact for 7 days and indigenous yeasts and matures in used oak barrels for 8-12 months. It is bottled unfiltered, without any other intervention and the result is exuberant and intense. The epitome of orange wine as many might say.
Such a diamond could only be bottled in a strictly limited number of bottles that can be found mainly in the wine lists of the world's best wine bars.
