Kapnias White, Dry Wine

Wine Varieties

Harvested from our Zygos vineyard, 350 meters (1,150 feet) above sea level, Kapnias White is our lowest yielding white variety. No irrigation systems are used at this vineyard in order to increase concentration. After fermenting and maturing for 8 months in Hungarian oak barriques by method of batonnage, this wine stays 12+ months in cellars.

Tasting of the most eloquently smokey Chardonnay, our Kapnias White wine is best enjoyed in the next 5-10 years.

• Classification

  Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Atalanti Valley

• Vinification

  100% barrel-fermented in Hungarian oak barriques (228lt). After fermentation, the wine is gently stirred (bâtonnage) during the eight months of aging on fine lees. This classic technique enhances the aromatic richness and complexity.

• Vineyards

  From the 3 ha selected vineyard “Zygos”, in an altitude of 300-330 meters, with 30 years old vines and very low yield (3500 kg / ha).

  Pronounced aromas of tropical fruits, almonds, butter, toast, butterscotch and vanilla.

  Palate
