One of the best representatives of the Attic Vineyard, Stamatis Mylonas, having been born and raised among Savvatiano vines, has been dedicated to promoting the variety. The history of the winery dates back to 1917 when grandfather Antonis made wine from Savvatiano in amphoras (there were no stainless-steel tanks back then). Stamatis and his brothers, Antonis and Tasos, are the third generation of the winery and they are doing great! Savvatiano Late Release is perhaps the ultimate proof of both Stamatis' talent and the huge potential of the variety. The grapes are picked at the right time by hand and transported to the winery in small crates. This is followed by careful sorting and gentle breaking of the grapes. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and matures there with its fine wine lees for 9 months. It is then bottled and aged in the cellar of the winery for three years.
Savvatiano Late Release Mylonas Winery has the petrol character of Riesling that will surely excite you!
