In Avdira city, known from ancient times as the city of Thrace, a struggle began in 2000 to revive famous ancient vineyards. Contributing in this initiative, Αnatolikos Vineyards began farming Greek and foreign grape varieties in 2005. They apply organic cultivation and practices in the vineyard. Their vineyards are located on the dry hills of Avdira city with an altitude of 50–70 meters and approximately 5 km away from the Thrace Sea. The terrain is sandy with continuous cool northeast winds. Avdira’s microclimate contributes decisively in the production of high-quality products.
Made with 99% organically grown Malagousia and 1% Assyrtiko. Harvest by hand in small baskets. Fermentation with wild yeast, resting on lees with periodic battonage for 5 months. One third of the wine ageing in French oak barrels for 3 months. No filtering or any other treatments before bottling.
