VRE 2022

17p. Jancis Robinson (2021)

For friends of Natural wines!

French "vrai", which means truth, is where the name of this amazing Malagousia wine derives from. This white wine has golden tones and a low level of turbidity. In the nose, it is impressive and intense, with aromas of citrus, vanilla, toasted wood and small white flowers. The mouth is very complex with crisp acidity, balanced astringency and a long finish.

Chloi Chatzivaryti is showing her skills here by creating wines born from experiments with indigenous grape varieties, which are compelling and unlike any wines that Greece has seen before; beautiful in their rainbow shades of almond and nectar. And importantly, there’s not an off-flavour to be found. This is a natural wine, of one of Greece's calling card indigenous white varieties Malagousia 100%

well done!

Ideal with Greek and Mediterranean cuisines, especially seafood, olive oil-based vegetable stews with fresh herbs, poultry, lightly-sauced pasta, pies, yellow cheeses and fresh vegetable salads.

Grapes are carefully hand selected and lightly pressed. Spontaneous fermentation is allowed to take place in stainless steel tanks, with no additives, fining or filtration, and with very low sulfur content added before bottling. Following fermentation, the wine stays with the lees in the tank for 4 months
