Why do we love it?
Two Rivers by Samartzis Estate does not need any recommendations since you already know it and love it. The difference is that as the vineyards get older, they create better wines.
Kontoura white is a clone of Savvatiano from Viotia. Samartzis Estate is located in Askri and has some of the oldest vineyards in the area. Kontoura is cultivated in the dry family vineyard in Episkopi, on the slopes of Helicon, in the Muses valley. The specificity of the location of the vineyards right between the old flows of two ancient rivers, Permissos and Olmios, in a spot protected from the south winds while benefitting from the cool north winds descending from Mount Helicon, makes it unique for cultivating this dynamic variety. The careful vinification of Panos Samartzis gives an expressive and fruity white wine, ideal for every moment.
Enjoy it now or keep it in your cellar for about 2 years (as you already know Savvatiano and its clones evolve wonderfully over time!).
