Silenus

The grapes come from south-facing vineyards in the Lima Valley; the technical data sheet provides no information on the soil. Skin contact with skins and seeds took place at 20 to 22 °C in granite vessels, with foot treading, followed by biological acid reduction in stainless steel. The wine then matured for nine months on the fine lees in chestnut casks. It shows intense dark fruit, with a powerful yet silky character; total acidity is 6,6 g/l and the pH is 3,63. Production was unusually small, at around 2.300 bottles. Source: Aphros Wine, technical data sheet.
