TECHNI ALIPIAS RED METHUSELAH 6 LITERS

Description

Grape: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Agiorgitiko

Techni Alipias red utilizes the unique and extremely successful blend of Bordeaux-originating Cabernet Sauvignon with Greek Agiorgitiko, a variety that traveled from the Peloponnese to Northern Greece and is expressed gracefully through the terroir of Drama. A wine with restrained extraction but at the same time dense and rich, from grapes cultivated with care in Mikrochori and Kali Vrisi.

Winemaking

Separate vinification of the two varieties. Cold soak of the skins to the juice prior to fermentation for a few days to transfer noble phenols and structure from the grapes, before the “appearance” of alcohol. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping-over to extract color and tannins. After the malolactic conversion, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, 1/3 new, for 12months maturation. The wine is then blended and returns to the tanks for settling and bottling.
