The wine region of Rhodes
Greek island AOP of the Dodecanese (ungrafted vines, phylloxera absent): Athiri the white signature (≥70% with Malagousia and Assyrtiko) — dry, fresh and mineral profile with citrus (lemon blossom), pineapple, peach, melon, gentle balance. Mandilaria (local Amorgiano) the red signature (≥70% with Mavrothiriko) — intense colour, aggressive tannins, high acidity, rustic character. Sparkling wines since 2011, low yields with intense aromas.
The wine region of Aegean Sea
West Turkish coastal region (Izmir, Manisa, Denizli, Aydin), ~53% of national production, sunny Mediterranean climate. Sultaniye: light and fresh with citrus, apple, melon. Bornova Misketi: aromatic and floral (rose, honey). Reds: Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah dense and sunny (blackcurrant, blackberry, pepper, garrigue, firm tannins) — international varieties that ripen perfectly here.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
