Assyrtiko Maison Viticole - Ktima Ligas is an epic orange, natural wine from the maîtres of the genre, the Ligas family. Its last year left us speechless, but we tell you that the 2022 vintage is just as expressive with its balanced acidity and caramelized orange peel aromas, which will become a collector's item!
Thomas Ligas was one of the pioneers who brought the philosophy of biodynamic cultivation to Macedonia. With his children, Jason and Melisanthi, by his side they took things one step further. Their philosophy is summarized in the following: permaculture*, no interventions in wine, no sulfites, or commercial yeasts.
Assyrtiko Maison Viticole 2022 Ktima Ligas is an Assyrtiko that ferments with the marc, with indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks and 50% matures in used, oak barrels, from Selosse Champagne, for 12 months. It is bottled unfiltered and the result is exuberant and intense, the epitome of orange wine. It still remains sought after and becomes rapturous when it appears on the lists of the best restaurants in the world.
Make yours some of the few bottles that remain in Greece!
*Permaculture takes its name from permanent agriculture and concerns a way of cultivation that ensures sustainability. In simple terms, the cultivation of the vine does not compete with nature but works with her for the purpose of sustainability and viability of the environment.
