Our family’s winery and vineyards lie near the village of Lalioti, Corinthia, 120km to the west of Athens.
Our oldest vineyard lies on the slopes of Corinthia at 250m altitude, facing north towards the Gulf of Corinth. The shape of the little valley, where our grapevines are planted, enables a good circulation of the cool night breeze ensuring a slow and full grape ripening. The soil is a calcareous limestone, giving the wines aromatic complexity and depth. The other vineyard lies at high altitude (850m) near the village of Sofiana, facing southeast. Here the aromatic white grapes such as Muscat or Sauvignon Blanc but also the red grapes such as Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon show their great potential. The soil is a sandy clay, this resulting in wines with richness and body, able to age and improve for many years.
A sweet, fragrant wine produced from the Muscat grape, is best served with fruit, cheese or on its own as a dessert wine. It possesses enough acidity to balance its sweetness and thus it can be combined with cheese or fruits. It is delightful also as an aperitif. Best drinking temperature: 8-10°C. A wine that improves with age, developing more complex aromas.
