Nikolou

The Nikolou Botanic Base Retsina White Dry is created by 100% Savvatiano of the Nikolou winery. The grapes are harvested from a 20-year-old, cup-shaped vine of SE Attica. After going through the process of vinification and static extraction for 48 hours in stainless steel tanks, the Aleppo Pine resin will be added and then it will go through alcoholic fermentation with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature. This produces an ideal resin-based wine for second fermentation in the bottle.

Nikolou Botanic Sparkling White Dry is a sparkling wine from the Savvatiano variety, whose early vintage gives juice rich in acids with low pH. After the necessary procedures for its production, the wine follows a second fermentation in the bottle with the classic method of production of sparkling wines and then it will mature in the bottles for 6 months.

Merlot Red Dry Nikolou is a red, dry, varietal wine, created exclusively from the Merlot variety. Grapes with phenolic ripening, in order to fully develop the variety, are selected and dried with the mildest mechanical treatment, while their extraction lasts 20 days and is done at 24°C. After the juice is separated, it is transferred to oak barrels to complete the alcoholic fermentation, in a controlled oxygenation environment and then the wine is transferred to a stabilization tank. Finally it is bottled and remains in the basement of the winery for 3 months in order to mature.

The Nikolou Sweet Dream Red Sweet label is created from the Grenache Rouge variety. The grapes of the variety are allowed to overripe and thus gave a juice rich in sugars and poor in acids.

From Nemea in the Peloponnese comes the Agiorgitiko variety, which will be processed perfectly at the Nikolou winery to give us the Agiorgitiko Nikolou Red Dry. After the necessary procedures, the juice will be put in oak barrels for about 3 months so that the fermentation is completed under conditions of controlled microoxygenation. Then the wine is tartarically stabilized and remains for 2 months for static clarification, while its bottling is done without filtration and with free flow. Once bottled it will remain in the cellar of the winery so that it matures and evolves.
