AVANTIS COLLECTION

Syrah 100%

Regional Wine of Central Greece                                Awards

We are proud to make such a classy wine. The Collection comes from a single vineyard which has been giving us the best quality grapes for the last many years. We decided to keep it separate and give it a special treatment. Restrictive pruning, low yields (4000 kgr per hectare), strict selection of oak barrels.

The limited number of bottles that are produced (500 – 1500) bottles a year, depend on the vintage diversity. It is sold 'en primeur'.
It is our Grand Cru.

Variety :  Syrah 100%

Location : Evia

Vinification : Cold maceration before vinification. Maceration takes place approximately 45 days. Maturation in new french oak barrels 225 lt. (Ermitage and Seguin Moreau) for 18 months.

Tasting notes : Opaque garnet colour with ruby tints and complex bouquet of black and dried fruits (prunes, figs, blackberries), spices and vanilla, constantly developing. Very full palate with aroma of ripe black fruit, jam, pepper, sweet spices, pepper ink, coffee, chocolate and tobacco. Ripe, fine-grained tannins, powerful structure and long length.

The suitable word for it is 'Concentration'.
