The wine region of Paros
PDO of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea (foothills of Profitis Elias at 726 m on a flat island, sandy and sandy-clay calcareous soils, powerful summer Meltemi winds, low rainfall, PDO 1981): Monemvasia is the signature white and co-blending in a unique red — Mediterranean white flowers and marine saline tension. Mandilaria (>=35 %) as a robust red with firm tannins; the unique red-white blend in a Greek PDO softens the astringency.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
