Ktima Tselepos  was founded in 1989, located at the southeastern end of the Mantinian plateau, at an altitude of 750 meters. The main philosophy of the estate is to study, experiment and display all the potential of the Moschofilero variety, in order to establish its presence in the greek and international market. Today, Ktima Tselepos extends in 45 hectares of privately owned vineyards and 20 hectares of cooperating producers. Great attention is given to the grape-growing practices and to the management of terroir so that the variety delivers its best expression.

Amalia Brut

An elegant sparkling wine with light lemon-green color and fine bubbles with intensity and persistence over time. Aromas of citrus flowers and honey, with a touch of brioche and rose notes. The mouthfeel is characterized by notes of yeast and baked toast complemented by crispy acidity.

Vinification:
Early harvest is used to produce the base wine. After cooling, the grapes are pressed whole-clustered. The must is transferred into stainless-steel tanks where it is fermented in low temperatures. The traditional method “champenoise” is used by forcing a second fermentation in the bottle. The wine stays on its lees for 9-12 months before the disgorgement.

Deux Collines

Ripe red fruit aromas dominate the nose with a complementary sensation of vanilla provided by the use of oak barrels. It has a round and charming fruity flavors with long aftertaste. Its excellent tannic structure usually allows its further aging for another 5 to 7 years.

Vinification:
Modern vinification with cold-soak for a few hours at 10°C preceding fermentation. One third of the must is put into stainless steel tanks, another fraction into amphorae and the rest into large oak tanks (known also as “foudres”) where the fermentation is carried out and completed. The wine stays in contact with its fine lees for about 4 months of aging.
