The wine region of Nea Messimvria
Heart of the Chablais vaudois (Switzerland, between Aigle and Yvorne, terraces of rolled pebbles and Rhône alluvium), wine city since the Middle Ages. Signature Chasselas white — lively and mineral with intense notes of citrus, white flowers, green apple and a classy stony-saline touch, taut alpine freshness — the driest and most taut of the Vaud Chasselas. Pinot Gris (Malvoisie) as demi-sec sweet white. Fine Pinot Noir and supple Gamay in reds.
The wine region of Macedonia
Large wine region of northern Greece, 1st by volume, altitude vineyards tempered by mountain massifs. Signature Xinomavro ("acid black") as king grape: structured, complex reds with signature notes of tart cherry, dried tomato, black olive, Mediterranean herbs, leather and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — compared to Nebbiolo. Stars in PDO Naoussa, Amyndeon, Goumenissa and Rapsani. Also lively, mineral Assyrtiko, aromatic Malagousia as whites.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
