Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.
Libertango is a bright and expressive white wine that celebrates the freedom of natural winemaking. Grown in the rugged Alt-Empordà region of Catalonia, this field blend of Chenin Blanc, Macabeo, Parellada, and White Grenache offers a lively interplay of citrusy freshness and gentle floral notes. Hand-destemmed grapes see a short maceration, bringing out extra aromatic depth before fermenting in traditional amphora. Six months of aging in oak barrels lend a subtle roundness to its spirited acidity. Created by Vinyes Tortuga, who live among their vines and farm holistically, Libertango captures both a sense of place and an adventurous spirit in every sip.

Kolónia 52 Lime is a Hungarian white blend of Riesling and Furmint, shaped by the volcanic basalt soils of the Balaton area. The Riesling comes from Raposka on Szent György Hill, while the Furmint comes from an organic vineyard on Ság Hill, giving the wine both floral notes and a firm, mineral line. This is the first release of the cuvée. The grapes are pressed directly, fermented together, and aged on the lees in large barrels and a small amphora. The result is fresh and balanced, with lively acidity, hints of lime, green apple, flowers, and a clean stony finish. It is easy to enjoy as an aperitif, and it also works well with seafood, fried dishes, spicy food, or crisp green salads.
