Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world and among the first wine-producing territories in Europe. The earliest evidence of Greek wine has been dated to 6,500 years ago where wine was produced on a household or communal basis. In ancient times, as trade in wine became extensive, it was transported from end to end of the Mediterranean; Greek wine had especially high prestige in Italy under the Roman Empire. In the medieval period, wines exported from Crete, Monemvasia and other Greek ports fetched high prices in northern Europe.

Kidonitsa Aslanis Winery might not come from Laconia but from Michaniona, but that does not stop it from being a typical version of the variety, expressive and extremely enjoyable.
Aslani Winery is a family business since every member of the family has its position and role from production to marketing and accounting. The privately owned vineyards of the estate are spread on a beautiful piece of land, in Nea Michaniona, Thessaloniki and are organically cultivated. Laskaris’s (the father of the family) passion is hidden in every wine of the estate and Kidonitsa is one of his new great loves. The perfect ripening of the grapes is followed by careful vinification with short extraction and maturation with the lees contact for a few months. This is the reason for the expressiveness of the wine and the purity of the fruit that characterizes it.
Enjoy Kidonitsa Aslanis Winery with fresh cheeses and summery snacks!
Dark red with distinct brown highlights. Dense nose with pepper and chocolate, coffee, butter, ink, smoke and vanilla. Soft and velvety mouth-feel, with acidity offering nerve and a pleasant, long lasting aftertaste.
Lemon bright color, and nose expressing charmingly through aromas of lemon blossoms and jasmine, white flesh peach and pineapple, lychee and basil. Mouth fruity, fresh and crisp, with volume and long-lasting finish.
This wine is entirely produced from the Greek grape variety of Malagousia, which was saved from extinction due to the efforts of Vangelis Gerovassiliou.
Following skin contact in cold, vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks at 18 °C, while some is vinified in French oak barrels. The wine is left with its lees for a number of months to gain structure and body. It has a brilliant straw colour with greenish shades and an aroma of matured fruit such as pear, mango and citrus.
The grapes are sourced primarily from contract growers of the crus of Agios Panteleimon within the Amyndeon Appellation in Northwestern Greece. Sprawling at an altitude of 600m on poor sandy soil, the vineyards reach yields that rarely exceed 40 hl/ha. The area is marked by cold winters and warm summers, but the four surrounding lakes create a unique mild mesoclimate. As a result, we get high fruit concentration and ripeness with exquisitely complex and rich aromas.
Amyndeon had a heavy winter with very low temperatures. April had very low temperatures as well and in May we had some hail, which damaged some plants – production therefore was lower than usual. Summer however was very dry and warm and the abundance of rain helped us get earlier ripening and very healthy crop. 2017 will be a very aromatic year for the Amyndeon whites. Xinomavro too, is expected to give excellent results.
