VARIETIES
Merlot
One of the most popular varieties worldwide. Relatively young variety, derived from a cross between an old French variety and the Cabernet Franc variety. In the region of Goumenissa it gives wines of high alcohol content with a soft taste and aromas of black fruits. Of the 15,000 hectares of the Greek Vineyard, about half are cultivated in northern Greece with Thessaloniki and Halkidiki being the regions with the largest areas.
VINIFICATION
The must is left with the pomace during alcoholic fermentation according to the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes each year. During the alcoholic fermentation light pigeage is applied. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation the wine is transferred for 6 months to Inox tanks and then to 225 L French oak barrels where it will remain for another 6 months.
The final stage requires the wine to remain in bottle for 6 months. The interventions during vinification are the minimum required in order for the wines to be able to evolve their character and express the authentic character of the terroir of Goumenissa.
