2020 Domaine Oinea 'Lune' Sparkling Rose
Macedonia, Greece
A blend of ungrafted Xinomavro (90%) and Limniona (10%) from the Amyntaio appellation, all boiodynamically grown. The grapes were harvested by hand and whole cluster pressed in a basket press. Primary fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks with minimal SO2 ( 2ppm) and no chemical additives. Second fermentation in bottle, sur lees for 12 months. Released 1 month after disgorgement. The vineyards are managed using organic practices and cover crops, including vetch, barley and mustard. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentations and non-interventionism rule. Salted raspberry and mineral notes. Everlasting tiny bubbles. The wine has a surprising structure due to high acidity and some tannins and finishes off with a long citrus aftertaste.
