BRIEF INFORMATION

The indigenous Greek white variety of Greece is one of the strongest cards of the Vourvoukeli estate. Grown in one of the oldest vineyards in the world, it ripens with the breeze of the Thracian Sea, giving a special aroma to the wine with rich acidity and mineral character. The label on the bottle bears the form of a lively and cute rabbit (Lepus europaeus), which is a protected species of the wider area of the Vistonida lagoon.
The reason for this choice ? in the vineyard of Assyrtiko, these friendly animals are taking daily walks, deservedly winning the leading role on the label.
