Andromachi’s Tasting Notes
Wine Details
Style: Dry, High Altitude, Low intervention, Organic, White
Soil: clay & slightly gravelly
Appelation: PDO Mantinia
Drinking Window: 2025-2032
Viticulture: Organic
Vinification: 1.14 hectare non-irrigated vineyard with a yield of 6000-8000kg/hectare, was planted in 1972 and is cultivated with organic practices. After 8-10 hours of cold maceration at 7-8°C, only the free-running juice is collected and alcoholic fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tank. Then and while the fermentation is about halfway through, a part of the juice is separated and tranferred to finish the process in small concrete eggs and another part in acacia barrels. For as long as it takes for the wine to mature, we make sure it is in constant contact with its fine lees, which will enrich the viscosity and texture, while at the same time supporting it for its long journey through time.
Service temperature: 9-11°C
Pairings: Big fatty fish on the grill, lemony baked goat, seafood carpaccio and Asian cuisine.
