Mylonas Cuvée Vouno Savatiano

Mylonas Cuvée Vouno Savatiano | Complex, mineral and the new generation of Savatiano

The Cuvée Vouno Savatiano from Mylonas Winery is an impressive expression of the classic Greek grape Savatiano. It shows how refined, gastronomic and terroir-driven Savatiano can be. Coming from Attica, near Athens, it combines ripe fruit, minerality, structure and remarkable cellaring potential.

Grapes & origin
Made from 100% Savatiano from old, ecologically farmed vineyards in Keratea (Attica). The vines grow on limestone-rich sandy clay soils at around 280 metres, which gives concentration, freshness and a pronounced mineral character.

Vinification
After careful selection, the wine undergoes a cool fermentation in small stainless steel tanks. It then ages for 9 months sur lie with regular bâtonnage, which adds depth, creaminess and complexity. A long spell in bottle follows before the wine is released.

Tasting notes
Clear golden yellow. On the nose aromas of ripe peach, apricot, dried yellow fruit, honeycomb, herbs, nuts and subtle smoky notes. On the palate full and powerful, with lively acidity, a creamy texture and a pronounced mineral tension. The long finish shows layers of ripe fruit, herbs and light earthy nuances.

Serving tips
Serve at 10–12 °C. Excellent with poultry, roast pork, veal, creamy pasta, risotto, mushroom dishes, Greek oven bakes and matured cheeses. Also surprisingly good with Asian dishes featuring nuts and aromatic herbs.

Cellaring
This wine is among the most serious expressions of Savatiano and develops excellently in bottle. 5 to 10 years of cellaring potential, gaining extra complexity, honeyed notes and depth.
