Red Wine from Thrace Kikones Limnio 75cl

The Limnio grape, potentially the oldest cultivated variety in the world, is a true gem of Greek viticulture that deserves a place in every cellar. Its clear ruby color captivates, while its complex aroma reveals a rich blend of small red fruits, fresh herbs, woody elegance, and a hint of pepper.

On the palate, this wine is distinguished by its lightness and velvety tannins, offering a smooth, enjoyable experience. The balance between the spicy barrel notes and the fresh fruit is remarkable, creating a harmonious and captivating sip. Though it can age gracefully for a few years, it’s already delightful, inviting exploration of its potential.

This often-overlooked grape variety is sure to charm wine lovers, serving as a tribute to Greece's wine history and an exciting find for those seeking something unique.

Kikona's organic vineyards in Maroneia, Thrace, exemplify the region's viticultural excellence. The unique microclimate and soil, combined with the refreshing sea breeze and the protective presence of Mount Ismaros, create ideal conditions for vine growth. The silica-rich clay soils enhance the complexity of the wines produced here.

Kikona’s commitment to organic practices, including minimal intervention and the co-cultivation of vines with vetch, nurtures a healthy ecosystem vital for quality wine production. The innovative Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) technique shields grapes from intense sunlight, promoting slow maturation and preserving essential aromas and tannins.

With a diverse range of grape varieties—Limnio, Malagouzia, Chardonnay, and Sangiovese—Kikona aims to blend traditional and modern winemaking styles. Under the expert guidance of agronomist Vasilios Tassos, each vine is meticulously cared for, ensuring that the wines reflect the distinct Maroneia terroir.

In summary, Kikona is more than just a winery; it represents sustainability and innovation in the Greek wine scene. Every sip tells the story of a land rich in tradition and craftsmanship, inviting you to discover the magic of its offerings.
