Christos Zafeirakis is the fifth generatin of his family to make wine in Thessaly, on the slopes of Mt. Olympus. He earned his master's degree in oenology from Milan, then worked in Tuscany, Piedmont and Alto Adige before returning home to Tyrnavos where he grew his family estate to 8 hectares and started the first organic vineyards in the area. Zafeirakis’ obsession is first and foremost with his soils, which are domintated by clay. All vineyards are certified organic and throughout the year the vineyards are carefully and rigorously cultivated. In the cellar, all wines are fermented with native yeasts.
The Microcosmos is made from 100% Malagouzia grown on clay soils with sand and high concentrations of flint. The wine is fermented and aged in large, 2,400 liter oak barrels for 12 months. Light lemon in the glass with an intense nose of ripe yellow orchard fruits, citrus blossom and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine has a delicate acidity and rich mouthfeel that is balanced by ripe fruit flavors and floral complexity. Enjoy with marinated anchovies.
