WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaine Skouras Assyrtiko Wild Ferment 2022 is produced using 100% Assyrtiko grapes. A key winemaking choice is the use of indigenous yeasts for fermentation, allowing for a natural expression of the grape and terroir. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a four-month aging period on its lees in stainless steel tanks. This method contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The wine is not aged in oak.
