The vineyard is located at an altitude of 200m at the foot of Mount Symvolo. A 200-year-old plane tree, dominates the edge of the vineyard so the vineyard is called “PLATANOS” (Greek for plane-tree). Planted in 2001, the sandy loam soil is relatively poor with yields of 1000kg per acre and the climate of the area is highly influenced by winds from the mountain during the nights and sufficient humidity during the day from the sea which is only 2 km away.
8 is a blend of two varieties and each one is vinified separately. The vinification protocol follows the classic white wine vinification with fermentation at low temperatures (14○C). The wine remains in stainless steel tanks on selected wine lees for 3 – 6 months before bottling.
