Vinification of Mikros Vorias from Rouvalis Winery The wine is made from hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the mineral-rich, calcareous soil of the Slopes of Aigialeia PGI in the southwest of the Peloponnese. Cultivation takes place under specially controlled conditions to ensure the optimal ripeness of the grapes. The grapes are picked by hand during the cooler night hours to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. After careful selection, the grapes are gently destemmed and lightly pressed to retain the high-quality fruit components. During vinification, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 8 and 10 °C. This cold fermentation process ensures the preservation of the fresh fruit aromas as well as the mineral nuances. Maturation on the fine lees is avoided in order to preserve the light and vibrant texture. The result is a wine that offers an excellent balance between freshness, intensity, and elegance. After fermentation is complete, the wine is bottled, with Diam TCA-free corks providing optimal freshness and durability. Aging in stainless steel guarantees its fresh-fruity characteristics as well as its ideal storage potential of up to three years.
