Origin
The Cyclades Posta White is produced in the Cyclades islands, a group of islands in the Aegean Sea, Greece. This region is known for its unique terroir characterized by volcanic soils and a Mediterranean climate with strong winds and abundant sunshine.
Variety
This white wine is typically crafted from indigenous Greek grape varieties native to the Cyclades region, which may include Assyrtiko, Athiri, and Aidani grapes, known for their crisp acidity and mineral character.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. The winemaking process involves controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve the fresh and aromatic qualities of the grapes. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its bright and clean profile without oak influence.
