Meaning "old fashioned" (paleokerisio), this sparkling revives the well-known traditional semi-sparkling wine of the region. Local Debina, Vlahiko, and Bekari grapes go through skin contact before fermentation, resulting a light amber orange color. Off-dry charming sparkling with flavors of baked pear/apple, orange peels, and mountain spices.

Production Methods

Practicing Organic

Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.

Staff Pick Notes

Paleokerisio is one of those super trendy wines that really lives up to the hype. Orange, natural, semi-sparkling, and semi-dry - it finds its own niche and has taken the NY wine market by storm. It's incredibly light yet imparts a hearty, creamy richness, packed densely with aromas of clove, dried apricots, and ripe peaches that lend a hint of sweetness. A distinct yeasty, bready finish coupled with a frothy texture and low abv give the impression of beer, and indeed I've shared this wine to the delight of several friends who are primarily beer drinkers. A fun bottle to bring to a party!
