Domaine Papagiannakos, Savatiano
Markopoulo | Greece
Produced from indigenous Savatiano bush vines with no added sulfites. Round and soft with green plum and a touch of white spice. Subtle salinity on the finish.
About the Producer
The Savatiano grape is well-adapted to the Attican climate, and is widely cultivated here. The grapes for this wine are sourced from 7 blocks of 50 year old, low-yielding, unirrigated Savatiano vines in Markopoulo. They grow in limestone soil, on gentle north-facing slopes, at just 100m altitude. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-September, then undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 17˚C for around 20 days.
Food Pairing
Drink with pork chops and lemony potatoes.
