WINE MAKING PROCESS
Thalyssa Assyrtiko is vinified with a focus on preserving its inherent freshness and varietal character. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, a technique that helps to maintain the wine's vibrant fruit profile and high acidity. Following fermentation, the wine typically undergoes aging in stainless steel as well, further ensuring its crispness and youthful expression. This method avoids oak influence, allowing the pure characteristics of the Assyrtiko grape from the Peloponnese region to be the primary focus of the final wine.
