Mylonas Cuvée Vouno Savatiano

Mylonas Cuvée Vouno Savatiano | Powerful, mineral and the pinnacle of Savatiano

The Cuvée Vouno Savatiano from Mylonas Winery is among the most impressive white wines in Greece. It shows just how much depth, complexity and elegance the traditional Greek grape Savatiano can offer. Coming from old vineyards in Keratea (Attica), it combines ripe fruit, minerality and exceptional cellaring potential.

Grapes & origin

Made from 100% Savatiano from old vines in the hills of Keratea, south-east of Athens. The vineyards lie on limestone soils with excellent drainage. The dry climate of Attica and the cooling influence of the Aegean give grapes with great concentration and freshness.

Vinification

After a careful hand harvest, the wine ferments slowly at controlled temperature. It then ages for 9 months on the fine lees (sur lie), which are stirred regularly (bâtonnage). This traditional technique gives the wine extra depth, a creamy structure and subtle aromas of bread dough and brioche — added structure and complexity without overpowering the character of the grape.

Tasting notes

Clear golden yellow. On the nose aromas of ripe peach, apricot, citrus, dried herbs, honey, nuts and a subtle smoky minerality. On the palate full and powerful, with a creamy texture, lively acidity and impressive mineral tension. The long finish shows layers of ripe stone fruit, herbs and a lightly saline touch.

Serving tips

Serve at 10–12 °C. Excellent with grilled fish, shellfish, poultry, veal, mushroom risotto, creamy pasta, Greek oven bakes and matured cheeses. Also an excellent partner for refined Mediterranean dishes.

Cellaring

Although the wine is already lovely now, it can develop for another 5 to 10 years. With bottle age it gains extra aromas of honey, nuts and dried fruit, becoming even more complex and impressive.

A wine that proves Savatiano belongs among the great white grapes of the Mediterranean, and an absolute must for lovers of gastronomic white wines.
