Why do we love it?
Things are simple, a sip of Kydonitsa day and night or to be precise, Meranyhta Kydonitsa by Estate Gofas. Kostis, who likes to experiment with new varieties, chose to make a special Kydonitsa and dealt with it day and night (that's how it got its name since "meranyhta" means "day and night").
For this special Kydonitsa, 2 different vineyards and 2 different clones were combined. At an altitude of 380 meters, the thin-stemmed clone is cultivated, which gives rich and ripe fruit, while at an altitude of 800 meters, the coarse-grained clone is cultivated, which gives acidity and nerve. This is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature to preserve and enhance the delicate aromas of the variety. The result has a slightly fuller body and sharper acidity than a classic Kydonitsa and makes it stand out and even more special.
Kostis Gofas may have worked day and night for Meranyhta Kydonitsa, but it was definitely worth it!
