Why do we love it?
Melissopetra by Tselepos Wines is the Gewurztraminer that set the bar very high for the rest. It has also managed to have a fanatical audience that is looking forward to it every year! Why? Because Melissopetra is a Gewurztraminer so aromatic and typical that they would envy it even in Alsace!
The grapes come from a single vineyard, named Melissopetra, whose yield does not exceed 360 kg/acre. The concentrated grapes are picked at the right time and then it is the turn of the magic touch of Giannis Tselepos. The experience of Tselepos shines through forceful varieties, such as Gewurz! Pre-fermentation maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures, are the main points that maintain and enhance the explosive aromas of the variety!
Melissopetra by Tselepos Wines is a Greek wine that literally pulls you by the nose!
