Vineyard: The Roxane Matsa Estate in Attica is situated in Kantza an area historically known for the cultivation and production of high quality wines. The Estate is cultivated on the principals of organic farming. Its marl (clay loam) soils are rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. 

The famous “Attica” climate, a main characteristic of the ecosystem, is ideal for winemaking. The mild winters and high temperatures have benefited the experimentations that began with the initiative of  Boutari in the 80’s. The variety that stood out was the Malagouzia variety.

Vinification: Selection of Malagouzia grapes from Matsa Estate in Attica. Evaluation of analytical and berry sensory data to assess the right time to harvest. Specific harvest plan for each plot. Careful hand picking in the vineyard. Cooling of incoming grapes at 10°C followed by hand sorting in the winery. White wine vinification scheme with 8-10 hours of skin contact. Temperature controlled alcoholic fermentation at 14-18°C. Maturation on the fine lees for 6 months, gentle filtering and bottling.

Tasting Notes:  Clear white-yellow colour, with an aromatic character that affects you with its intensity and complexity. With dominant aromas of flowers and fruit, such as melon, peach, orange, pineapple and grapefruit. Splendid balanced taste, with a longlasting aftertaste.

Paired with: Seafood and fish dishes like pasta with lobster or sea bream cooked over charcoal, pies (vegetable pie and leek pie), poultry dishes like lemon chicken with potatoes, or lamb fricassee with artichokes, pasta with creamy sauces and fruit dishes. Yellow cheeses like Parmesan.
