ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Ktima Biblia Chora is the innovative creation of Vassilis Tsaktsarlis and Vangelis Gerovassiliou, two of the most talented winemakers in Greece. The winery was established in 1998, and the privately owned vineyard lies on the cool climate slopes of Mount Pangeon, at Kokkinochori near Kavala. It has been farmed organically since day one. These exceptional, cutting-edge wines are some of the best white wines in Greece, which have similarities to very good white Bordeaux – not surprising as Vassilis Tsaktsarlis studied with Denis Dubourdieu; the king of modern white Graves.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Located in the coastal region of Pangeon, Biblia Chora’s privately owned estate vineyard is situated at 380 metres and extends over 78 hectares. With the striking Pangeon Mountain as the backdrop and the sea breeze coming from the Aegean Sea in front of the estate, the vines thrive in this mild, Mediterranean climate, which is characterised by mild winters and cool summers. The wide diurnal temperature range encourages a long, slow maturation of the grapes, concentrating the flavours in the berries. The vineyard is cultivated according to strict ecological agricultural standards in order to respect the environment and local flora and fauna, and it is certified organic. The vines are planted at a density of 4,000 plants per hectare, and all the work in the vineyard, such as leaf thinning and the harvest, is carried out by hand. The soil is rocky and infertile, with limestone and clay and good levels of drainage.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The Assyrtiko and Semillon grapes were picked at optimum maturity and then carefully selected. The wine was vinified in the state-of-the-art winery, using modern techniques to ensure the aromatics and varietal flavours were retained. Each variety was vinified separately in 225-litre French oak barrels, of which 50% were new and 50% were one year old. Maturation lasted for five months, with bâtonnage taking place in the barrel.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
The distinctive and characteristic aromas of apricot and honey from the Semillon blend perfectly with the citrus and lemon notes from the Assyrtiko, with nuances of vanilla and nutty hints adding complexity. Rich and concentrated, with a beautifully balanced palate and a long, mineral finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Assyrtiko 50%, Semillon 50%.
