Vineyard

Pavlidis Estate vineyards are situated in two different sites, distinguished from ancient times for their unique terroir, Kokkinogia and Perichora. Grapes of these regions are vinified to produce wines bearing the geographical indication of Regional Wine of Drama.

Vinification – Maturation

The perfect ripening of the grapes and the carefully selected date of harvest, which is practicated during the night, contribute to the preservation of varietal aromas and natural acidity. Destemming and light-crushing is followed by skin-contact at low temperature, longtime pressing and controlled fermentation of the juice at 18 0C in inox tanks. A three months period staying on lees gives certain roundness to this wine.

Harmony

It pairs very well with seafood and shellfish dishes, pasta with white sauces, white meats and salads.

Best Served

At 9 - 11°C
