🌟 A bold and soulful Greek white—wildly aromatic, richly textured, and deeply expressive.
👁 In the Glass:
Golden straw with green reflections—luminous and unfiltered in character.
👃 On the Nose:
Intense and layered, with bright aromas of lemon zest, honeysuckle, white peach, and ripe melon. A swirl reveals hints of warm brioche, wild herbs, and acacia honey.
👅 On the Palate:
Creamy and full-bodied, yet vibrant. Bursting with citrus and stone fruit, underscored by wet stone minerality and nuanced notes of bread dough and honeycomb. The finish is long, savoury, and persistently fresh.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Excellent with grilled sea bass, lemon-roasted chicken, or stuffed vine leaves. Its richness and complexity also pair beautifully with mushroom risotto or a tangy sheep’s cheese.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now, with the depth and structure to age gracefully for 5–7 years, gaining nutty complexity and further savoury depth.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Orivatis Wild’ redefines Savatiano, elevating this native Greek grape to artisanal brilliance. Wild-fermented and old-vine sourced, it’s a textured and cerebral white that balances rustic charm with modern finesse.
