Different oak barrels are used in terms of their origin and type and the wine remains for 6 months on the lees where resin from the bark of pine trees is added. Its colour is lemony. The nose is an aromatic combination of mastic, pine and rosemary that comes from the resin and lemon with hints of lime which comes from Assyrtiko. The mouth is very balanced with full body and high acidity complemented with tobacco, toast and biscuit.
