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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
