Ktima Biblia Chora ‘Ovilos’ 2024

Expressive beeswax, lemon rind and lemon blossom bouquet. Complex and concentrated on the palate: a medley of citrus fruits, tropical mango and kumquat. This wine has a lovely waxy texture and a very long finish. Will get even better, too. 50% Assyrtiko, 50% Semillon

The Assyrtiko and Semillon grapes were picked at optimum maturity and then carefully selected. The wine was vinified in the state-of-the-art winery, using modern techniques to ensure the aromatics and varietal flavours were retained. Each variety was vinified separately in 225-litre French oak barrels, of which 50% were new and 50% were one year old. Maturation lasted for five months, with bâtonnage taking place in the barrel. The distinctive and characteristic aromas of apricot and honey from the Semillon blend perfectly with the citrus and lemon notes from the Assyrtiko, with nuances of vanilla and nutty hints adding complexity. Elegant, with a creamy texture, this stylish wine is beautifully balanced by refreshing palate which leads to a long finish.
