Vinification of the Larsinos Viognier Cuvée from Domaine Skouras The Larsinos Viognier Cuvée from Domaine Skouras is harvested in Greece, in the sun-drenched Peloponnese winegrowing region on the sandy soils of the Peleponnese PGI. The grapes grow in a warm, Mediterranean climate zone that favors the ripening process and allows for an incomparable expression of fruit and aroma. Harvesting is extremely gentle, mostly by hand, to ensure maximum freshness and quality of the ripe berries. After selection, the grapes are brought in at controlled temperature to preserve the delicate fruit aromas. Vinification takes place in small wooden barrels, which lend the wine a subtle wood note without overshadowing its varietal character. During fermentation, the wine is left on the lees, which gives it its smooth texture and creamy character. The maturation on the lees (sur lie) lasts six months and provides full-bodied complexity as well as a long-lasting impression on the palate. The gentle processing and the use of high-quality vineyard sites create a wine that captivates with its balance between fruit, minerality and wood structure. The bottle is sealed with DIAM TCA-free corks to ensure top quality and freshness. After optimal storage of up to four years, the Larsinos Viognier Cuvée develops its full aromatic finesse, with its vibrant freshness always in the foreground.
