Rhapsody aged under fresh water.
Amphora red dry wine; from Mavrodaphne in dry vinification.
The first in ancient way – following a mixture of ancient recipes - experimental vinification of Mavrodaphne in “amphoras”. Vintage 2015. A limited number of Rhapsody bottles are aged under natural water in a winery cement tank like aquarium. A new method which permits maturation and incorporation in absolute conditions of constant temperature, darkness and lack of oxygen!
After bottling (with cork and caps) the mouth and the neck of the bottles were covered with beeswax, for more safety.
From these bottles, 706 were numbered and placed in the cement tank of the winery, filled with water, in order to observe the aging effects of the wine, in salted water and in normal drinking water.
The wine has dark purple red color; nose with intense notes of exotic fruits, mouth with intensity and complexity, friendly and round tannins, entrancing the taste buds on enigmatic and uncharted taste trips!
