The trip to the wines of Greece includes, without a doubt, Thessaloniki! This soft and easy-to-drink wine comes to us from the vineyards of Nea Mesimvria, which has inextricably linked its name with winemaking. Here is captured all the art of viticulture that brought with them the Meridians from their particular homeland, the homonymous city of the Black Sea. So among the 5000 acres of vineyards that we find in Mesimvria, we chose the ones that are of the highest quality. They come from a family business that has kept the tradition for a number of years.
This extremely tasty dry wine has 12 degrees of alcohol. It comes from the largest white, Spanish grape variety that is widely cultivated in Macedonia, the macabreo. We find this name in France, while the Spaniards prefer to call it "vioura".
It has a pleasant and fruity aroma, it is light and juicy in taste. In order to maintain the maximum amount of fruit, it is produced with minimal contact with oxygen.
Its dryness is a result of alcoholic fermentation, as the yeasts consume almost all the sugars in the must. Thus, they do not exceed 4 gr per litre.
Extra info: Standard on PET packaging. So it is very easy and safe to transport.
HISTORY FROM GOLD BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The most amusing god of Ancient Greece, the funniest, the happiest, could only be one: the god Dionysus! He offered people the most valuable Gift, wine.
Thus, we often see him taking his company and traveling around Greece to teach the secrets of his art, viticulture. Maenads with long braided hair, Satyrs and Ceylons, all danced their ecstatic dance around him, praising the wine! In fact, from this peculiar company, from the goats that surrounded the god, the foundations of the tragedy were laid.
ΛIt even happens that from the moment that the shepherd of the king of Aetolia, Oeneas, discovered the fruits of the grapes and squeezed them, Dionysus chose this name for the magic drink: "wine"!
The etymology of the word "wine" followed later. It is born from the habit of the Ancient Greeks to drink their wine ΄΄kekrameno΄΄, which means mixed with water.
Countless historical and mythological references to the festivals held in honor of the god Dionysus, the famous Dionysian mysteries to please Dionysus for his divine gift to the human race.
