Description
Experience the “undiscovered” side of the Cretan vineyard with the Kotsifali Indigenous Yeast from the innovative Karavitakis Winery. This limited-edition bottling is part of a special project by winemaker Nikos Karavitakis, designed to highlight the raw, elegant potential of Crete’s most emblematic red variety using minimal intervention.
Sourced from old, ungrafted vines in the Pontikiana region of Chania, this 100% Kotsifali is a masterclass in authenticity. The wine is fermented exclusively with indigenous (wild) yeasts to capture the true soul of the terroir. It is bottled unfiltered, often after 14 months of aging in used barrels, preserving its natural texture and vibrant personality. With production limited to just 500 bottles per vintage, it is a true collector’s gem.
