Tselepos Amalia Brut 2017

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant.

The Tselepos Estate was founded in 1989. Its founder Ghiannis Tselepos had conducted intense research on the Arcadian ecosystem for a decade and identified the poor, clayey and stony soils of the first slopes of Mount Parnon, the ideal place for the cultivation of autochthonous vine Moschofilero. Here in Arcadia, within the Mantineia DOC production area and at 750 m above sea level, the variety called Fileri, grown in the Peloponnese, is transformed into Moschofilero, with the particular characteristics of aromas and flavors, reminiscent of a combination of Gewurztraminer and Moscato .

This Classic Method wine with the second fermentation in the bottle, is made from 100% Moschofilero grapes, an indigenous variety from the Peloponnese. The vineyard is located in central Peloponnese. The harvest takes place in early September to obtain the basic wine with low alcohol content (12%) and high acidity.

The wine has a pale straw yellow color, with fine, quite intense, and persistent perlage. The nose reveals very pleasant floral aromas, especially of rose and lemon blossom, with an evident base of yeasts. In the mouth, it is balanced and harmonious, with a lively freshness and remarkable acidity. Served well chilled, it makes an excellent aperitif, but it also goes well with raw fish preparations, fish salads, and soft cheeses.
