KARAMOLEGOS WINERY<br />
GREECE, AEGEAN ISLANDS<br />
<strong>Karamolegos</strong> Winery, founded in 1952 by Artemis <strong>Karamolegos</strong>, began from a passion for<br />
winemaking passed down to him from his beloved grandfather who made wine in a small<br />
cave – or ‘canava’ – using traditional methods.<br />
In 2004, a new winery was built to take advantage of the latest in modern technology<br />
– mainly as an attempt to protect whites from oxidation – while also adhering to the<br />
traditional practices passed down from generations. Artemis has not only been a<br />
champion of the main Assyrtiko variety, but has also invested in the cultivation of some<br />
of the more obscure indigenous varieties of Santorini, such as Mavrotragano, Aidani,<br />
Mavrathiro and Voudomato.
ASSYRTIKO<br />
Assyrtiko 100%<br />
Characteristic stony minerality (salty<br />
and flinty notes) in the nose followed<br />
by fruity (peach, pear) and herbal<br />
(tea, chamomile) hints. Rich mouthfeel<br />
and elegant at the same time. Its<br />
creamy texture makes an excellent<br />
balance with the dry bone crispiness<br />
and the high acidity of Assyrtiko. Full<br />
bodied, concentrated wine with finesse<br />
complexity and long salty aftertaste.<br />
FEREDINI IGP<br />
Assyrtiko 100%<br />
Fruity aromas of melon, pear and<br />
citrus fruits combined with the typical<br />
mineral signature of the island and its<br />
hint of herbal notes. Supple, fresh on<br />
the palate with intensity, primary fruit<br />
character, nice vivid balance and long<br />
complex aftertaste.<br />
PAPAS<br />
Assyrtiko 100%<br />
Austere and chalky mineral nose full<br />
of iodine. Ripe stone fruit and herbal<br />
notes in a salty background. Generously<br />
structured mouthfeel, complex and<br />
multi-layered. Reminiscent of thyme<br />
and tea in a sea driven phenolic palate.<br />
Great balance with a long savoury and<br />
mineral aftertaste.<br />
PLATIA LOUROI<br />
Assyrtiko 100%<br />
Louroi-Platia is on the lower part of<br />
Pyrgos borderline with Megalochori.<br />
Over 150 yo vines. 11 months kept on its<br />
lees. Additional 12 months in bottle.<br />
The back label quote: ”Pleasure has<br />
no relish unless we share it.” – Virginia<br />
Wolf.<br />
White blossom springtime aromas, ripe<br />
exotic fruits followed by sweet herb<br />
aromatics and peppery background.<br />
Lovely weight with grip and extract.<br />
Palate shows candied quince with zingy<br />
acidity and vibrant finish. Long, sweet<br />
and mineral aftertaste.
