Analytical data
Vineyard
Ktima Avantis Collection is the best vineyards of the Estate with a total area of 1.2 hectares, on a steep slope with an incline of 30%. It is a single vineyard located at an altitude of 250m. in the forest of Afrati in Central Evia, below Mount Dirfi 1750m. This particular estate was planted 30 years ago with the clone 470 ENTAV. The vineyards have a north-south orientation. The soil is excessively poor, loamy with granite stones and good drainage. The combination of poor soil and excellent sunshine during the day, with coolness at night due to the cold air masses coming down from the mountain, give very low yields per hectare of 2000 kgr\He with excellent concentration, but also freshness of the fruit. The result of all the above and the careful winemaking with minimal intervention (wild yeasts, long extractions) is a terroir wine of intensity and personality.
