More about this product

Ktima Matsa

Matsa Estate in Attica, is located in Kantza, an area renowned for the cultivation and production of high quality wines. It is considered a historic vineyard established in 1878 with vines over 30 years old. The estate, with a total area of just over 12 hectares, is cultivated according to the principles of organic farming. Its soils are of medium mechanical composition, clay loam, rich in calcium, potassium and manganese. The main feature of the ecosystem is the famous Attica climate. Warm and dry with mild winters and hot summers, ideal for viticulture. Although this historic vineyard in Kantza is considered the cradle of the Savatiano variety, in recent years there have been many experimental plantings with various foreign and other Greek varieties. Currently the varieties Savatiano, Roditis, Assyrtiko, Syrah, Malagouzia, and Sauvignon blanc are all cultivated on the estate.

Assyrtiko

Assyrtiko (Assyrtico or Asyrtiko) is probably the most emblematic wine grape variety in Greece. It originates and is best grown on the volcanic island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea. The variety is quite versatile and its wines can be found in many styles, from fresh and mineral white wines to rich, nut-dessert, known as Vinsanto. On the island of Santorini there are up to 70-year-old vines, and, of course, this age affects the quality of wine - yields decrease and the concentration of aromas in the fruit gives the potential for production of complex and rich wines. The volcanic soils of the vineyards on the island do not allow the spread of phylloxera and here the vines do not need to be grafted on rootstocks. The harsh climatic conditions of the island - strong winds and hot sun - determine the unconventional form of growing Assyrtico - in "baskets" whose walls are made of plant stems and leaves, thus providing shelter for the fruit and protecting them from strong winds. Limited water resources in the soil force growers to plant the vines farther apart than generally accepted standards. Assirtiko is an oxidation-resistant variety used by Santorini winemakers in the production of Vinsanto sweet wines. By controlling the level of oxidation, darker wines with the characteristics of fig, coffee, kirsch and chocolate can be obtained. In the form of dry white wine, Assirtiko has a yellow-golden color with aromas of pear, apple and citrus, as well as fine minerality in the aftertaste. Naturally high acidity means that Assyrtico wines can be aged for many years.
