“Naked King and Naked Queen. Two sensational wines from Pavlos Argyropoulos and Andreas Pantos.”

Naked King.

A blend of tradition and cosmopolitan expression from the Kolindrino and Syrah varieties. The Naked King already has an intensely aromatic nose: aromas of dried fruit, such as fig, and fresh and lively aromas, such as raspberry, cassis, redberry... sweet spices and wood.

Mouth full, solidly structured, dry. Its proximity to time is the presence of acidity and intense tannins, which also give it its intensely complex flavours.

The finish is long and distinctive (leaving the requisite taste memory) and even on a bitter background. A wine capable of beating time, maturing and elevating pleasure.

Naked Queen.

In the search for the Naked Queen, excellent grapes from white varieties were selected in a separate harvest in the vineyards of Kolindros, Pieria: Assyrtiko (with 15% Chardonnay- *former blend) and some more of the rare Olympus varieties that were cultivated before the phylloxera and have survived in local vineyards. Like another stoic Penelope, the Naked Queen can take on time, underlining the importance of... anticipation.

The white varieties Assyrtiko and Chardonnay are called upon to stand the test of time and claim the title of white wine that can withstand aging and can mature, thanks to their exceptional character and the cultivation and winemaking conditions. After separate vinification and maturation in acacia and oak barrels, the Naked Queen remained in the bottles for another six months.

An ageing white wine, with intensity thanks to the sharp Assyrtiko, but dressed with finesse and nobility thanks to the melodic notes of Chardonnay.
