Terroir: The vineyards are located in the land of the village of Kromidovo, where the soils are heavy, reddish- brown with a high iron content. The vines are 5 years old, which favours the fresher feeling in the wine itself. They are grown following biodynamic practices in viticulture. The climate is warm, thanks to air currents coming from the Aegean Sea, but in the evening cooler breezes descend from the surrounding mountains, which seem to account for the larger diurnal amplitudes

The grape harvest takes place at the end of August, when the grapes reach optimal technological parameters. Alcoholic fermentation takes place within 10 days under strict temperature control. After completion of the process, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a period of 6 months. Merlot 2021 is a series of 7,800 bottles.
