Is Pata Trava Ktima Ligas a rose, white or orange wine? We should tell you that it is a little of everything and in addition a delicious, complex and gastronomic wine that does not like labels.
Experimentation is synonymous with Ligas family. They take the Greek varieties and are constantly experimenting with new winemaking techniques but also with their "limits". Their philosophy in wine can be summarized as follows: permaculture *, zero to minimal interventions in wine, no sulfites, no commercial yeasts.
Pata Trava is one such wine that plays with the limits and possibilities of Xinomavro. In essence, its name derives from the way grapes and must are managed: they immediately press the grapes and pull the must so that it does not get any color or tannins. The wine fermented in stainless steel tanks, with ambient yeasts and the result is at least impressive and uniquely complex.

*Permaculture took its name from permanent agriculture and concerns a way of cultivation that ensures a sustainable life cycle. In simple terms, the cultivation of the vine does not compete with nature but works with it for the purpose of sustainability and stability of the environment.
