Winery Parparoussis - The Gift of Dionysos 2021

Winery Parparoussis, located on the northwest coast of the Peloponnese, was founded in 1974 by oenologist Athanassios Parparoussis, at the family estate at Bozaitika just north of the city of Patras. Athanassios, together with his two daughters, Erifili — an oenologist, as well — and Dimitra — who manages the business — focus their production on indigineous Greek grapes varieties. The goal is to showcase the unique styles, textures and flavors of these grapes and how they express themselves in the family's 10 hectares of organic vineyards. The estate enjoys a mild climate, influenced by both the cool sea breeze and fresh mountain air, as well as the forest of Strofilia and Lake Kotyhiou. They are well known for their commitment to produce outstanding examples of the local grapes of the Peloponnese, and their Oenofilos delivers a rocking Agiorgitiko!

Parparoussis' Gift of Dionysos pours a beautiful lemon yellow with flashes of light green. This 100% Sideritis possesses lifted aromatics, presenting a bouquet of white orchard fruit and citrus complemented by chamomile. The palate is vibrant and refreshing showcasing flavors of quince, honeydew and lime zest that carry you to a lip-smacking finish. Pair with most seafood dishes, especially shellfish.
