Guided Tasting Experimental Vinifications of Xinysteri 2020.
On a beautiful Monday afternoon, in late August of 2021, I had the pleasure of accepting an exclusive invitation from my friend, the esteemed head of sales at the renowned Vassilikon Winery in Kathikas, Mr. Dimiris Karsas. The invitation was for a rare and unique wine tasting experience that was hosted on their magnificent premises.
We tasted some truly cool and unique wines at the beautiful Vissilikon vineyards in Kathikass, overlooking the breathtaking landscape. Our taste buds were awakened by the wild-fermented orange wine, which displayed a rich and complex flavor profile. And the sparkling Xinisteri, Aphrodite’s little treasure, was a deliciously refreshing surprise that left us craving more. The entire event was super laid-back, and everyone knew what they were doing, showcasing the utmost expertise in their craft. However, I couldn’t help feeling like I was transported to a magical world, filled with the finest wines and surrounded by the most incredible people.

The passion for experimenting with the juice at so many levels, having impressive results as well, is so evident in the way everyone in the production team talks about these wines.
Kudos to the team at Vassilikon Winery. Glad to see that the new generation of owners is slowly getting involved!
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful experience.
