Vineyard: Vineyards of Agios Panteleimon within the Amyndeon Appellation in Northwestern Greece. Sprawling at an altitude of 600-700m on poor sandy soil, the vineyards reach yields that rarely exceed 40 hl/ha. The area is marked by cold winters and warm summers, but the four surrounding lakes create a unique mild mesoclimate. As a result, we get high fruit concentration and ripeness with exquisitely complex and rich aromas.
Vinification: Grapes are hand-picked and selected on a sorting table prior to crush. For each variety the must is cold soaked at 11-12°C in a reductive environment for 2-5 days depending on the quality of the grapes. Fermentation takes place at 20-22°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in tank. During the first months of the year, the lees are stirred twice a week (batonnage), in order to achieve a fuller body. The winemaker’s main objective is to achieve maximum fruit extraction, while preserving a good level of acidity.
Tasting notes: Very aromatic, showing an expressive character of red fruit and spicy notes, Paranga is a rich and refreshing wine, meant to be enjoyed fresh paired with an endless range of tasty dishes. Light and spicy with refreshing acidity and mild tannins.
Food-Wine Tasting: A simple and easy-to-drink match to pasta, vegetarian dishes and barbeque delights.
