Wine Freak showcases the Maratheftiko variety sourced from selected old vines in the Vouni Panayia area at an average 1000 m elevation.
The wine is spontaneously fermented as whole bunches in a steel tank and then matures on Xynisteri fine lees for five months. (11% abv with just 35 mg/lt total SO2. pH and acidity in the area range between 3.1-3.15 and 7.5-8, respectively)
There is a misconception regarding Maratheftiko, since people believe that this a variety with many and often aggressive tannins with lots of vegetal aromas that needs lots of oak to relax.
On the contrary, with provided intense work in the vineyard and in the right terroir, it can produce juicy wines with ripe tannins, high freshness and floral aromas. ''Wine Freak'' is the sequel to ''The Rebel''. Very charming and smooth on the palate with a combination of red and black fruit.
