More information about Voyatzi Tsapournakos organic red wine
An elegant, extremely complex top-quality red wine made from the red Tsapournakos grape variety - the Greek offshoot of Cabernet Franc. Organically vinified in harmony with the vineyard ecosystem. The gentle hills of the north-east and south-facing vineyards produce an ideal and regionally diverse soil relief.
The different interplay of mesoclimate, microclimate and soil is reflected in the estate's wines and also enables the different grape varieties to be planted in the most suitable locations. Careful, long pre-fermentation extraction together with the solid grape components (the duration depends on the ripeness of the grapes) is followed by fermentation in steel tanks. The young wine is then matured for twelve months in oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. After bottling, the wine continues to mature in the bottle.

Ktima Voyatzi
Unser Weingut erstreckt sich auf 3 Hektar und ist in Velvento am Fuße des Pieria-Gebirges, direkt am malerischen Polyfytos-See gelegen. Wir sind stolz darauf, eine lange Familientradition als Weinhändler zu pflegen, die bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert zurückreicht. Schon damals wurden große Mengen Wein aus Velvento in die aufstrebende Stadt Katerini transportiert, wo unsere Familie einen Weinkeller und ein Ouzo-Haus betrieb. Nach vielen Jahren beschlossen Yannis, sein Bruder Nico und ihr Vater Harissis, nach Velvento zurückzukehren und einen alten Weinberg der Familie neu zu beleben. Yannis studierte Önologie an der renommierten Universität Bordeaux in Frankreich und bringt umfangreiche Erfahrung in der griechischen Weinproduktion mit. Gemeinsam setzt sich die Familie mit größter Leidenschaft und Sorgfalt für ihren Weinberg ein und pflegt ihn mit viel Liebe zum Detail.
