Armyra Dry White Wine – Domaine Skouras

Armyra Dry White Wine - Domaine Skouras

A long-held vision, the creation of Domaine Skouras materialized in 1986. Initially, the small wine-making facility was in Pyrgela, a small village on the outskirts of Argos. The next logical step was the creation of a boutique winery in the Nemea Appellation area, in the village of Gimno. There, the countless hours of manual work on an extremely small scale became an invaluable study on the Agiorgitiko variety and the Nemea denomination.

Grape Varieties:

Chardonnay 95% – Malagousia 5%.

Tasting notes:

The nose is expressive with aromas of ripe peach, tropical fruit such as pineapple and hints of lemon. Aromas of butter, bread and caramel follow. The mouth is rich, round, refreshing and balanced. The finish is long, complex, and with constant evolution.

Vinification:

Chardonnay: 70% fermented in stainless steel vats. 30% fermented in new 225 l French oak barriques, carried out malolactic fermentation and aged sur lie for six months with regular batonnage.
Malagousia:  Alcoholic fermentation at 16˚C in stainless steel vats and ageing sur lie for 6 months with regular batonnage.
The final blend was bottled under a Stelvin closure and matured in bottle for three months in our cellar.
