Akriotou 'Erimitis' White from Central Greece is a captivating expression of the region's unique mountainous terroir. Crafted by renowned oenologist Vasiliki Akriotou, this wine brings together the indigenous Savatiano, Assyrtiko, and Aidani grape varieties, all carefully cultivated in vineyards perched between 250 and 320 metres at the foot of the Kitheronas Mountain. The traditional, manual vineyard practices and meticulous attention to detail result in a wine that captures both the essence and complexity of Greece's sun-drenched landscape. Each variety is vinified separately, then skillfully blended and matured on fine lees, creating an elegant and textured profile that is truly evocative of its origin.
