    Vlassides Grifos 2 White Dry Wine 750 ml

    739067
    The name of the wine was inspired by the ancient era and geometry, two concepts immediately connected with winemaking. The three eternal conundrums or brain-teasers of the Ancient Greek mathematicians are shown on the labels of these three Vlassides wines, enticing us to discover them: Doubling the cube – Trisecting the angle –  Squaring the circle. GRIFOS 2. Trisecting the angle. For the white Grifos, a local variety is paired with an international one. Just as its Greek name implies, the “Xynisteri” variety lacks acidity. Exactly for this reason we decided to combine this variety with Sauvignon blanc. The grapes come from non-irrigated vineyards in Kilani and Pachna

    Vinification Details The harvest of Sauvignon takes place in August and Xynisteri follows around the middle of September. Every year after the end of fermentation, several combinations of the two varieties take place in order to arrive at the most deliciously balanced blend. After that, Grifos 2 is left in keeping with its lees 3 to 6 months before bottling. The wine is bottled just before Christmas
