Climate: Dry, with limited rainfall during winter and spring. Moderate temperatures during winter. Warm to moderate temperatures during summer, usually without periods of extreme heat due to cooling northern winds. Humidity levels range from 60 to 80%, offering a breath of coolness to the vines.

Soil: Volcanic

Vineyard / Viticulture: Anhydrous, with the only source of water the low rainfall and high humidity, especially early in the morning.The average yield is low, about 3500 kilos per hectare but the quality of the production is excellent because of the concentration of all the solids parts existing in the berries (sugars, acids, aromatic compound, etc). The vines are particularly resistant to hot and dry conditions of the island, due to their rich and strong root system that penetrates the layers of volcanic soil (ash, lava and pumice covering the limestone and shale rock subsurface origin during successive eruptions.) The vines are pruned with the traditional pruning technique, called 'kouloura', which is a form of pruning of a low basket in which grapes are protected, without being injured by the hard blows of sand entrained by the wind. The fine, sandy soil, poor in nutrients, with little clay content, protects the vineyards of Santorini from phylloxera that is why the vines are ungrafted. In addition, due to the low rainfall combined with the winds prevailing on the island, the various vine diseases do not significantly affect the vineyards of Santorini. The age of the vines is more than 50 years old.

Vinification: The harvest is manual. The grapes are collected in crates, never completely filled, to avoid broken berries. They immediately go to the facilities of our winery where they are placed in special cooling chambers, at a temperature of 10 ºC, in order to avoid any oxidation and to protect the aromatic potential of the varieties. The co-maceration is taking place only for few hours til we get a bright cherry color. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in the stainless steel tanks, under controlled temperature at 16ºC in the facilities of our winery. The bottling takes place in our specially designed areas of Koutsogiannopoulos winery.

Harvest: middle til end of August.

Tasting Notes: a fruity character, with aromas of cherries and pomegranate. It is smooth, with present minerals, refreshing acidity and delicate, pleasant tannins that integrate the structure of the wine.

Ageing potential: 1-2 years.

Food Pairing: by the glass or with a big variety of food such as seafood with tomato sauce, pasta, pizza and white meat.
