Description
ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Ktima Gerovassiliou is the brainchild of Evangelos Gerovassiliou. He initiated the revival of the family vineyard by planting the almost-extinct Malagousia in 1981. This state-of-the-art winery is now surrounded by 100 hectares of meticulously well-cared and certified sustainable vineyards on the slopes of Epanomi. Ktima Gerovassiliou consistently produces high-quality wines of international acclaim every year, and its Malagousia remains the benchmark to this day.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
At Ktima Gerovassiliou, the single, private vineyard is cultivated with great care and enthusiasm, which leads to constant research and experimentation with Greek and international varieties. New technological advances blend well with tradition throughout the vine growing and vinification processes to produce high quality wines that carry all the distinct characteristics of the terroir of Epanomi. The climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers, tempered by sea breezes. The vineyard is surrounded on three sides by the sea, which is three kilometres away, while its west side faces the Thermaic Gulf, Mount Olympus and the beaches of Pieria. The vines are grown in soils which are mainly sandy with a few clayey substrates and calcareous rocks. It is rich in sea fossils, as the surrounding hilly area was formed by sea deposits.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The Malagousia grapes were macerated on the skins to extract the desired level of aromas and flavours. The must was statically settled, and the majority was fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of between 18 to 20°C; while 20% was vinified in seasoned French oak. Clarification took place by gravity. The wine was then matured on the lees for approximately two months with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring), which imparted texture and complexity.
OUR TASTING NOTE:
Expressive aromas of white pear, peach and lemon zest combine with floral hints. Opulent, with harmonious balance, the palate offers a spicy, fresh and mouthwatering finish enveloped in a delicious flinty, mineral character.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Malagousia 100%.
