TWO RIVERS WHITE 2015 - SAMARTZIS ESTATE

With the term terroir wine we mean a wine which embodies the character of the area planted differentiating it from others of the same variety. An excellent sample of a great terroir white wine is Two Rivers White 2015 by Samartzis Estate. In the rain-fed family vineyard on the slopes of Helicon, in the valley of the 9 Musses, Panagiotis and Spyros Samartzis cultivate a variety called White Kontoura, a clone of Savatiano. The specificity of the location of the vineyards right between the old flows of the two ancient rivers Permissos and Olmios, in a point protected from the south winds while benefitting from the cool north winds descending from Mount Helicon, makes it unique for cultivating the dynamic variety.

Expressing the microclimate of the valley perfectly, the Two Rivers White 2015 by Samartzis Estate watches the medals from the most important global wine competitions coming one after another, recognizing both the potential of the variety and the experience and knowledge of the producer.

Enjoy it now or keep for three more years (as you already know Savatiano and its clones evolve wonderfully in time!)

Lemon yellow color with green hues in the glass.

On the nose, impressive, elegant aromas of lime, melon and apricot are complemented by tropical mango and pineapple. Jasmine and lemon flowers add floral character while slight hints of vegetativeness and minerality complement the explosive aromatic bouquet.

In the mouth, medium to full-bodied with a greasy feel balanced elaborately by the vivid acidity. Intense and delicious aromas of apricot and melon dominate on the palate, insisting in the long-lasting aftertaste.
