DESCRIPTION
Started in 2015 by Vassiliki Akriotou and a small vineyard at approaching 1000ft above sea level with 40-60 year old native Savatiano vines. Cold winters and humid summers all help to create a rounded, complex yet approachable wine. A true reflection of the Savatiano grape, and hard work.
Slightly aromatic on the nose with ripe stone fruit aromas lead onto a dry, crisp and fresh palate herby and earthy notes.
Suitable for Vegans
PRODUCER
Akriotou Microwinery
In 2015, Vassiliki Akriotou an oenologist who had worked extensively in the wineries of central Greece since 1997 created her first range of wines from a micro-winery in the historic region of Plataea in the heart of Greece about 50km north west of Athens. The vineyards are situated among the snow-capped mountains at altitudes of 280 to 380 metres above sea level. They have north and north east aspect and the climate of the area is charactertised by cold winters and cooler summers than many other parts of the country.
White plantings are indigenous Greek varieties such as Savatiano, Assyrtiko and Malagouzia while red varieties are more international and include Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Saviatano vines are between 40 to 60 years old, the raminder being in the 10-12 year old range. The wine themselves are bottled under the label Orivatis, which translates as 'the Mountaineer'.
