Vineyard of the Assyrtiko variety:
Organic cultivation. Monovarietal vineyard in a coastal area with poor soils (red soils with a very high content of stones). The poor soil composition combined with its orientation, which gives the maximum exposure to the summer sun, endows the grape with the amazing characteristics of the variety.
An innovative support system is applied with the grapes hanging at a height of 1.8 m to always be in the shade of the foliage and to ensure the necessary ventilation. Pruning is done with a double grinder and small operations are performed where and when needed. Also, green vintage is usually done (cutting unnecessary bunches early for reduced and better production), while we rarely reach acre yields of 700 kg per acre. An average is 500-550 kg per acre.
The management of the vineyard is done with the same principles of responsible organic agriculture that apply to the red varieties. Also most of the work is done manually.
Gastronomic information:
It accompanies excellent dishes of fatty fish (lobster, crayfish, large fish such as catfish, salmon or eel). You can also try it with poultry, game and strong white sauces. Some light meats with white sauces can also be dared. Definitely yellow oily cheeses are a sure solution.
It is served at a relatively low temperature in smaller glasses than red wine, which are used specifically to highlight the spartan aromas of white wines. They are glasses with a much narrower mouth so that significantly less air enters and the intensity and characteristics of the aromas are maintained more, while they also accept a smaller amount of wine so that the wine does not have time to heat up and lose its characteristics. In the older version we use Riesling type glasses.
