2021 Domaine Glinavos Ioannina Paleokerisio - Epirus, Greece (500ml)

Paleokerisio, which translates to ‘Old Fashioned’ is a throwback to ancient Greek winemaking techniques, yet it’s both fresh and exciting. Made from the local, indigenous grape Debina with a splash of Vlahiko, it spends 12 days macerating on its skins before it’s bottled in the middle of fermentation resulting in a funky, demi-sec, orange, lightly sparkling wine that defies categorization. Medium-bodied with light tannins, tangy spice notes and citrus peel balanced by a touch of honey blossom, it’s amazing as an aperitif alongside a cheese board with nuts and apricots.
