WINE MAKING PROCESS
Plegma White 2020 is produced by Olympus Wineries, utilizing a blend of Xynisteri and Muscat of Alexandria grapes. A previous vintage (2018) involved fermentation and aging in old Commandaria barrels, with a portion undergoing malolactic fermentation. This approach suggests a focus on integrating traditional Cypriot winemaking with techniques that enhance balance and complexity.
