T-OINOS project
The magic of the site, the roughness of the climate on the island, the stress
imposed on the vines lay the evidence of a production philosophy based on
purity.
Vintage 2017
Smooth winter with good amount of rainfall. Budbreak around middle of
March. Flowering was set nicely on good spring weather conditions. Summer
was dry and mild until harvest not exceeding twelve degrees Celsius of
difference between day and night. Vintage was characterized as an excellent
vintage for Mavrotragano with an extremely high quality of grapes and at the
same time a good amount of crop.
Vintage 2017
Whole berry grapes with a small percentage of whole clusters are gently
introduced in two and three and a half tones open wooden vats. To gain
more terroir expression, grapes were inoculated with the yeasts from our
vineyards (research program in collaboration with Biocepage). The
temperature is controlled. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrels.
The wine matures for ten to twelve months in 500lt oak barrels, 20% of
which are new.
Deep red colour. Pepper, spice, moca, cacao, tobacco and dark cherries nose
with oaky aromas. The mouthfeel is rich, complex and generous, with long
lasting finish. Great aging potential.
