Domaine de Kalathas Vorias 2022

DDK: Domaine de Kalathas (DDK) is the brainchild of Frenchman Jerome Binda, a former graphic designer and antiquer, who found his second home in Tinos. From 2.500 bottles production in 2015 to 8.500 in 2017, Jerome contributes at large to the exploding Natural Wines scene in Greece. His idiosyncratic wines are based on local varieties of the island such as Aspro Potamissi, Mavro Potamissi, Koumariano and Rozaki. The wines are extremely scarce, bottled without the addition of sulphites, and farming is organic since 2013.

The wine: 100% Rosaki, a table variety that Jerome gives another dimension to, from autoriza vines aged 50-150 years. Manual harvest, autochthonous fermentation, no addition of sulphites (total is 5mg/lt). 8 months with the lees. Expressive nose with peach, tropical fruit and herbs. Soft wine, almost velvety mouthfeel with soft acidity and the characteristic concentration of old vines that gives thickness and a long aftertaste. Store in a cool place until ready to use.
