The 2024 Domaine Papagiannakos Savatiano Old Vines is a vibrant and complex expression of Greece’s beloved indigenous Savatiano grape. Grown on low-yielding, 50-year-old vines just outside Athens, this wine is a true tribute to the Attican climate and the skill of the Papagiannakos family. A perfect balance of freshness, texture, and depth, it’s a wine that surprises with every sip.
The Savatiano Old Vines undergo a careful fermentation process in stainless steel tanks at a cool 17°C, preserving the bright fruit character and aromatic complexity of the grape. The result is a wine that combines the rich peachy aromas of Viognier with the textural depth of an old-vine Semillon. Crisp, citrusy, and lightly saline, it’s a refreshing yet substantial wine that shows off the unique character of Attica’s terroir.
Pairing Suggestions: Pair with fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, or a creamy goat cheese salad. It also complements light Greek dishes like tzatziki and moussaka.
Tasting Note: Peach, floral aromas, and a touch of lemon and herbs lead to a textured palate with a citrusy, slightly saline finish. A wine that balances richness with freshness.
