Production Area: Northern Greece, in Macedonia, at the local communities of Agora and Pigadia, in the valley and the low hills on the South-East of Drama town. Cultivation: This variety is grown in linear vineyards, planted on slightly inclined soil up to an altitude of 250 m. They have a North and South exposure which provides better growing conditions for the grapes. Harvest: Early September. Vinification Method: We perform the skin contact method, while the fermentation temperatures differ according to the plot, in order to obtain the aromatic potential of the Sauvignon Blanc variety. It matures for at least 6 months in selected oak barrels, so as to avoid the premature aging of the aromas. At the same time, we perform batonnage with fine wine lees.

A complex nose with aromas of green apple, mango and pear with notes of basil and cutting grass. It has a rich, ripe mouth, crispy and sharp acidity and long aftertaste. Aging: Will respond to aging for up to 4-5 years after harvest. Perfect Pairing: An excellent match for seafood, oily fish, smoked salmon, white meats and poultry with light sauces.
