Vineyard

The vineyards used for Ramnista have an overall southeast exposure at an altitude of 280-330 m. The estate is divided into a mosaic of 42 vineyard blocks of different mesoclimates with varying exposure, orientation, slope, soil type, rootstock, vine density and age, demanding tailor-made viticultural practices for each vineyard block.

Vinification – Maturation

The grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted on a conveyor belt before crush. The Ramnista was fermented for the first time in 5000lt wooden casks (French oak) under total controlled temperatures. In order to enhance the wine, the pigeage method is applied where the grape solids are pushed back into the wine for the proper extraction of color, flavor and tannins. The final blend is made five months after harvest and the last racking takes place about eight months later.

Ηarmony

Complex fragrances, robust tannin structure and velvety acidity. An excellent match for red meat and game.
