2020 Now finished: ANTIPHON, Tetramythos. Peloponnese, Greece

UK agent, Indigo Wines:
“Tetramythos is situated near Ano Diakopto overlooking the Gulf of Corinth in northern Peloponnese. Back in 150 AD the geographer Pausanias referred to the local villages as ideal for the cultivation of grapes proving the region’s serious vinous history. The beautifully wild vines are planted in a variety of different soils at altitudes between 650 to 1050 metres. These are true cool climate vineyards mostly north facing on the slopes of Mount Aroania, where breezes from the gulf of Corinth help produce fresh and balanced grapes. The winery is owned by brothers Aristides and Stathis Spanos, and the highly talented winemaker Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos. Today they farm organically, focusing on the native varieties of Roditis, Mavro Kalavrytino (the ski resort of Kalavryta is just up the road), Agiorgitiko and Malagousia.”
For this wine:
The varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel at 24 degrees with native yeasts. They are gently pressed and aged on fine lees for five months – the Mavro Kalavrytino in 5000 litre foudre, the Mavrodaphne in wooden tank, and the Agiorgitiko in stainless steel. They are blended and bottled without fining or filtration.
