Moscato of Alexandria, Rhoditis.
Moscato from Lemnos island, Rhoditis from Vineyards of Evia and Viotia.
Lemnos island, has got a mediterranean climate with a high rate of sunshine and hardly low rainfalls throughout the year. The ripe of vineyards is reinforced by the risen humidity and the lack of extreme weather conditions.
Evia region has got temperate mediterranean climate which helps to the growing of grapes without any particular problems in crops.
The summers are very warm and dry while the winters are mild with high rainfalls. In Evia region there is an intense change of climate conditions in different areas. This means that the north part of the island is colder than the central one, which is warmer, while the south part has got many strong winds and draught. We would say that this climate is similar to the Cycladic.
In winter, the winds are strong, northeastern; whereas, in spring and summer they become low to moderate.
The soil of Lemnos island is volcanic with a fine-grained composition and an intense absorbency. It is slightly acidic but rich in minerals.
The soil can be sandy, sandy-loam, loam, clay or sandy-clay. During the past, most of the vineries were planted in fertile plains. But today, they are cultivated in hillsides with steep incline in a way that they are strongly exposed to sun so as to succeed an easy draining. The majority of the vineries of the area are extended in hillsides and the soil is of average mechanical composition and of neuter PH. Also it has got a small percentage of chalk.
Klio is produced under the most modern technology of white wines production and the temperature within the stainless tanks does not exceed the 20o C during the process of fermentation.
Klio is a white wine with a particular bright colour. The smooth but intense aroma of Moscato which is evident, combined with the citrus aroma of Rhoditis, offer a sweet fruitful taste and a smooth and long lasting mouthfeel. The body of Klio wine is round, gentle and rich.
Klio can be perfectly combined with fatty grilled fish and white meat as well as pasta with white sauce, dishes with seafood and different kinds of yellow smoked cheese and fruit.
You can enjoy it in between 8o C – 10o C.
