Cavino, Mega Spileo Cuvée III White, Achaia, Peloponnese, Greece 2021

A successful threesome between floral Malagousia, acidic, textural and mineral Assyrtiko, and barrel-fermented Chardonnay offering a soft touch of oak. Creamy, voluminous, rounded mouthfeel punctuated by crisp linear acid, with citrus zest on the finish. From mountain vineyards of Kalavryta, each variety is vinified separately. Malagousia and Assyrtiko are fermented in small stainless steel tanks at low temperature, followed by 3 months on fine lees. The Chardonnay must is fermented in 300-liter oak barrels and stays 4 months in total.
