Kamara Nimbus Ritinitis 2020 is an intriguing red wine that showcases the rich and expressive character of the Assyrtiko grape variety in an macerated style, born out of a century old winemaking recipe from the family's great grandfather, who was a winemaker in present day Bulgaria. Its name means orange cloud
Grape Varietal & Region: Kamara Nimbus Ritinitis is crafted exclusively from the Assyrtiko grape variety. Grapes are harvested from vineyards on the slopes of Oraiokastro Thessaloniki.
Taste Profile: Bright yellow to amber colour. Intense nose with emerging aromas of thyme, lavender, oregano and ginger. Herbal and vegetal notes in the palate, with an intensive expression of bergamot and kumquat along with resin and thyme. Hints of Chios mastic at finish prove the quality of the pine resin used. Balanced acidity with a fruity and herbal feeling in the long lasting aftertaste.
Winemaking Process: The skins of Assyrtiko macerated in stainless steel tanks with the must for 5-8 days at low temperature. The grapes are destemed. After removal of the pomace, the must produced by the first run juice ferments at 18º- 21º C for 20-30 days. During the fermentation high quality pine resin from the mountains of Evia is added, following the ancient recipe. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no oenological substances added, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The produced wine is racked from the very dense sediments and stirred on fine lees for three months in old barriques. No protein stabilization, only tartaric stabilization.

The winemaker behind Kamara Nimbus Ritinitis brings a wealth of experience and passion to the production process, ensuring that each bottle represents the true potential of the Ritinitis grape.
