Cuvee III White
Category & Origin:
Dry White Wine, PGI Achaia
Varietal Composition:
Malagousia 60%, Assyrtiko 20%, Chardonnay 20%
Malagousia and Assyrtiko, two of the most striking varieties of Greek grape, come together with Chardonnay in a unique blend. Separate vinification of each variety means that the Malagousia and Assyrtiko ferment in small tanks and mature together with their wine lees, while the Chardonnay matures in barrels that give it its characteristically rich palette. The grapes are cultivated at an altitude of 900 metres, giving this wine a cool acidity and expressive aroma.

Assyrtiko - Lagorthi
Category & Origin:
Dry White Wine, PGI Achaia
Varietal Composition:
Assyrtiko 75% – Lagorthi 25%
At the Mega Spileo vineyard, the popular Assyrtiko variety comes together with the rare local Lagorthi to create a unique wine, full of character. Fine aromas of roasted nuts mingle with the freshness of yellow fruit marmalades and herbs. The wine ferments and matures with its wine lees in new oak barrels, and 2 years of ageing after bottling confer striking character and complexity. An elegant white wine, suitable for ageing.
