Our winery has a new product since the year 2002-2003. It is called LYSIMELIS and
can be described as a red, sweet wine made exclusively from
the Agiorgitiko grapes variety.
The grapes used are allowed to mature fully on the vine under careful supervision, thus obtaining the highest possible concentration of sugars. Subsequently traditional vinification is applied which stops automatically at 15% Vol. releasing a great percentage of unfermented
sugars. In addition, the wine ages in French oak barrels.
The name LYSIMELIS derives
from the word Lyo = loosen
up and the word melos= part
of the human body. We find it used as an adjective to describe wine in the poetry of Hedylus (3rd cent. b.c.): ‘lysimelis bacchus.’ This wine loosens up and relaxes the muscles of our body through the pleasure it creates.
Lysimelis is produced in
a limited number of bottles. You can drink it as an aperitif
slightly cooled, but is an ideal drink to accompany your
dessert (at room temperature).
