Details

On the nose there’s hints of ripe golden plums, yellow apples, apricots, pears and dried flowers and herbs. On the palate the stone fruits continue along with herbs, spices and almonds. A well balanced wine with a full body and long finish. Will go great with an array of mezes and cheeses.

THE WINERY

OuSyra was founded by Edward and his wife Eileen, in Chroussa, a small village on the south of Syros. They started with just two wines, a white from local Serifiotiko and rosé from Fokiano, using native Naxos grapes. The 2018 vintage was vinified for the first time in their privately owned winery and has received great reviews ever since. Both wines are distinguished by their aromatic, fruity character and freshness, both in the nose and pallet. The winery is still family-run on Syros, creating terroir-driven wines from rare indigenous Cycladic varieties.

Organically certified grapes hand-picked into and chilled for 24 hours. Whole bunch pressed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged on the fine lees for 6 months. Filtered then bottled. Annual production 2,100 bottles.
