DESCRIPTION

A classic Fokiano, typical demonstration of the land of the ancient Pramnian wine, with bright red colour, fine scents of flowers and red fruit, smooth tannins and a rich, well-balanced taste. It is produced from vines cultivated on terraces with a small yield per acre (500kg/acre) and it is susceptible to the ageing of at least five years with surprising results.

Producer

Afianes

For more than 20 years, with love, persistence, faith in organic cultivation and a spirit of creative experimentation, Nikos Afianes, a local Pharmacist, has been growing on the impressive granitic island of Ikaria the two local PGI grape varieties, Fokiano and Begleri. In the course of making wines from experimental vineyards at different altitudes and different microclimates on the Western part of the island, a few innovative styles have been created in a limited number of bottles from these two grapes. Nikos’ wines defend the term ‘fine’ with their elegance, unquestionable quality and development potential with time, whilst they remain anchored to traditional practices and totally pure without any technological intervention or additives.
