Both varieties are hand-harvested from selected vine parcels at Agios Panteleimonas, in the region of Florina, Northern Greece. Located at a stunning plateau that reaches 600+ meters above sea level, surrounded by lakes and mountainous landscape, the vines are grown on mostly poor sandy soils with mild continental climate and notable temperature difference between day and night. Ideal conditions for both varieties -the red native Xinomavro and the white Chardonnay- to express their quality features with finesse maintaining at the same time a characterful backbone.
High acidity, lower sugars, and phenolic ripeness, those are the criteria for selecting the varieties for this sparkling blend. Pre-cooling of the grapes at 11-14 o C before pressing. The fermented base wine is transferred to a pressured tank for the second fermentation where it stays in contact with its lees for 5 months. The sparkling wine stays for 5 more months in the bottle before its release.
