This modern and light white wine has delicate aromas of lemon peel and exotic fruits. The palate is fresh and crisp, brimming with aromas of citrus, green apple and honeysuckle.
Aigialeia, in the northwestern Peloponnese, is among Greece’s most distinctive wine-growing regions. Set against the rugged terrain of the Panachaiko mountains, the area’s high elevations, northern exposure, steep, sloping vineyards and proximity to the Corinthian Gulf help moderate high temperatures, creating a growing environment unlike anything else in the Peloponnese. It is here that Michalis Kanakaris founded his eponymous winery in 1979, focusing on indigenous varieties Roditis, Sideritis and Mavro Kalavrytino grown on Aigialeia’s sandy, red/white clay soils. Today, Kanakaris is run by the third generation of Michalis’ family, with brothers Stefanos and Michalis taking over the reins in 2009.
NOTOS (Greek for ‘South’) references Kanakaris’ Peloponnese homeland in the south of the country. These approachable, expressive wines are made from indigenous Greek varieties, as well as Merlot, grown on the slopes of Aigialeia. The NOTOS Roditis hails from vineyards planted between 450 and 700 meters above sea level, overlooking the Corinthian Gulf on northern-facing slopes. Roditis is the most widely used variety in Aigialeia, accounting for 80% of vineyard plantings, creating fresh, crisp white wines brimming with citrus and tropical fruits.
