Xinomavro, Reserve Vielles Vignes, Single Block Barba Yannis, Amyndeo, Alpha Estate

This is a savoury red made from 90 year old vines with an enticing aroma of raspberries and sun dried tomatoes combined with tobacco, lovely flavour concentration and a dry finish.
The grapes were destemmed, lightly crushed and cold soaked with skin contact. Fermentation took place using an indigenous yeast strain which has been isolated from this specific block. The grapes were vinified at gradually increasing temperatures, before being maintained “sur lie” or on its fine lees, for eighteen months with regular stirring. Maturation took place in Allier-Bertrange French oak casks of medium grain, for 24 months, with a minimum of a further 12 months ageing in the bottle. The wine was bottled without fining and filtration.
