‘Here Selini’

Mavro Ampelisimo

•

Dry Red

Mavro has long been dismissed as unsuitable for producing full-bodied, age-worthy red wines. This wine is an effort to boost confidence. By blending Mavro with Cabernet Sauvignon, we set out to craft a rich, rounded expression and explore the potential that can emerge from uniting these two distinctive cultivars.

Vinification

The process begins with sequential inoculation, allowing for a controlled and layered fermentation that enhances aromatic complexity. Throughout fermentation, we perform manual punch-downs to gently extract color, tannin, and flavor while preserving finesse. The wine then matures in barrels, where barrel aging deepens its character and refines its texture.

Χαίρε Σελήνη

The name of this wine is inspired by the very harvests we undertook for its creation. Guided by the light of the moon, we began each harvest in the early hours of the night, carefully working under its soft glow. Thus, the name 'Ave Moon'
