Χορός του Ήλιου

The name of this wine is inspired by the challenging conditions surrounding the harvest of the different vineyard plots. Unpredictable weather, with several rain events, caused disruptions to our planned harvest dates. In response, we created the opposite of a "Rain Dance”, a "Sun Dance" to bring the sun back to our favour.
