ETKO/Olympus Winery: Plegma 2019
“Xynisteri (85%) und Muscat of Alexandria (15%). Fermentation in old Commandaria barrels (over 10 years) and aged with the lees in the same barrels for 5 months. Then the barrels with the best quality are selected for the final blend.
To make this wine I follow the principle of the minimun intervention, that is to say “to intervene just the necessary” to maintain the highest quality.
The result is a complex wine where the varietal aromas ( pip fruits, pinnapple, etc) combined in harmony with the aromas from the fermentation, aging and of course the delicate aromatic contribution of the Commandaria wine that is absorbed in the oak barrels (vanilla, honeycomb, cumin, turmeric). The wine has a silky texture with a savory aftertaste.” (Önologe Santiago Martinez)
Das griechische Wort “Plegma” bedeutet: Geflecht, Komplexität. – Und das ist der richtige Name für diesen aussergewöhnlichen Xynisteri. Der neue Wein der Etko Winery zeigt, wie vielfältig die Stilistik der grossen autochthonen Rebsorte Xynisteri ist.
