2022 Ktima Gerovassiliou Sauvignon Blanc, Macedonia

Located in the Papamola region of Epanomi, Greece, Ktima Gerovassiliou was founded by Vangelis Gerovassiliou who, in 1981 decided to renovate the family vineyard, build a new modern cellar and start his production of wines in this beautiful region with indigenous and international grape varieties. The first harvest of the company dates back to 1986. Since then Vangelis Gerovassiliou has embarked on new projects and expanded his properties with estates in the Kavala region in northern Greece and Skafidia in the Peloponnese.

This interesting Greek Sauvignon Blanc is produced with grapes sourced from different lots owned by Kitma Gerovassiliou. After a short period of cold maceration on the skins, the must is fermented in French oak barriques. The finished wine is then aged on its lees for a few months.

Ktima Gerovassiliou Sauvignon Blanc has a bright golden color. The nose reveals notes of tropical fruit, such as pineapple, mango, pear, and melon. On the palate, it is fresh and exuberant. Thanks to its passage in wood and its time on the lees, it is well-structured and complex with pleasant notes of toasted vanilla and excellent balance. It goes well with shellfish, fish served in a buttery sauce, poultry, and ash-covered goat cheeses.
