Kyr Yannis Wine Four Lakes White Dry 750ml
Περιγραφή
The definition of "good" white wine, which cannot go unnoticed. The grapes come from vines that "suck" all the beneficial influence of the four lakes that surround it.
A portion of the Chardonnay has been matured for a short time in a new French oak barrel, and this gives it body and spicy complexity. With the addition of Gewurztraminer with its intoxicating floral aromas, the wine goes to another level. The proof? Soon in your glasses!...
The Four Lakes is a wine with a crystalline golden yellow color. Its bouquet combines the typical floral aromas of Gewurztraminer with the lemon, pineapple and coriander notes of Chardonnay. In the mouth the velvety, fatty aftertaste is supported by the volume and duration of the acidity.
Vineyard
Tesseri Limnes is produced from grapes grown at an altitude of 600 meters. The vineyard has a total area of 165 acres and is located in the area of Ag. Panteleimon, within the limits of the wine-growing zone of Amyntaio. The yield per hectare of the vineyard does not exceed 800 kg for Roditis and Xinomavro, 700 kg for Chardonnay and 600 kg for Gewürztraminer. The poor and sandy soils offer the possibility for the production of wines with exceptional finesse and rich aroma. The area is characterized by cold winters and hot summers, but also the presence of four lakes, which create a mild microclimate, ideal for the cultivation of white varieties. These four lakes give the wine its name.
Vinification
During vinification, the pre-fermentation extraction method (skin contact) is followed for all varieties except Xinomavros, which, when included in the blend, is vinified using the blanc de noir method. This is followed by desalination and inoculation with a pure culture of selected yeasts, which express the aromatic typicality of each variety. The fermentation and maturation of 50% of the total amount of Chardonnay takes place in oak barrels with stirring of the lees, a process that gives volume, oiliness and complexity. The rest of the Chardonnay, as well as the other varieties, are fermented in stainless steel tanks. The final blend takes place at the beginning of February.
