IKARIA, a small island at the eastern part of Aegean Sea with just 7000 inhabitants all of a sudden became world famous. The reason is that it belongs to the five regions of the world (the so-called BLUE ZONES) where residents live much longer than average. This longevity has been associated with the Ikarian way of life, its gastronomy and the indulgence of local wine, known since the times of Homer.
This is a minimal intervention wine made from the local grape varieties of Fokiano and Koundouro (Mantilaria). KARIMALIS WINERY is a small scale family business, located at an awesome slope of the island, applying sustainable wine-making methods. Vinification takes place with the aid of indigenous yeasts that reflect the unique terroir of the island, while aging takes place in oak barrels that offer a full-body, rich flavor and a naturally occurring high alcohol content.
Certified organic.
A serious full body wine.
