OMEN 2020 from Lalikos Mountain Vineyards is a stunning barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc that made us fall in love with the variety all over again. Beautifully structured with the grape's signature crisp acidity, it masterfully balances the richness of oak with vibrant citrus and tropical notes.
Based in Kavala, Lalikos Mountain Vineyards represents one of the most innovative and creative voices in modern Greek winemaking. Focusing on high-altitude viticulture, the unique terroir at the foot of Mount Pangaio, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Vasilis Lalikos crafts wines with bold identity, finesse, and superb aging potential.
OMEN 2020, sourced from these mountain plots, ferments and matures for 8 months in large French oak barrels with regular batonnage (lees stirring), followed by 12 months of bottle aging before release. The result is an approachable yet sophisticated wine with striking intensity and remarkable versatility at the table doing absolute wonders paired with grilled fatty fish or lobster pasta.
