Oinogenesis – Mataroa BIO

Bakis Tsalkos, the owner of the Oinogenesis Estate, is one of the pioneers and innovative winemakers who always surprises and amazes us with his choices. This time, the occasion was Mataroa. The name Mataroa carries a story, as Mataroa was the name of the ship on which 150 scientists and artists were transported to Paris in 1945, in order to avoid the Civil War. Mataroa Nautical is a white natural wine from Assyrtiko, vinified with minimal interventions, minimal sulfur and bottled unfiltered. In appearance, it has a lemon color with golden hues. On the nose, aromas of lemon, lime, citrus peel are distinguished, with characteristic herbal notes and interesting complexity with hints of saltiness but also an interesting evolution with honey aromas. On the palate, it has crisp acidity, medium body and flavors of lemon and herbs, with a sense of saltiness. It goes ideally with fish, grilled fatty fish, cod, shellfish, smoked salmon, pasta with seafood, white meats, appetizers and white cheeses, especially with feta.
