Storyteller is a Grande Reserve protocol from Amoriano PDO winery-owned vineyards.
This is the first time we produce this protocol; we started with a late harvest grape from three different vineyards, destemmed in the barrels with no pump, hand-punched down until the end of the fermentation and bucket transferred by hand in the press.
Aged for one year in the tank and 18 months in French and American oak barrels.

Vineyard
Storyteller is born from three distinct organic vineyards, each owned by the winery. Two of them lie beneath the imposing Prophet Ilias Mountain, where chalky, nutrient-poor soil challenges the vines, yielding Amoriano grapes of exceptional quality.
The third vineyard rests under the shadow of Attaviros Mountain, near the village of Emponas, where the land’s natural harshness shapes the character of the fruit.
Amoriano thrives in sun-drenched, well-drained soils that push the vine to its limits.
While naturally abundant, this variety sacrifices quality in fertile soil, making these rugged, demanding terrains the perfect cradle for producing truly remarkable grapes.

Production protocol of Storyteller
Our winemaking protocol begins with a late harvest of Amoriano grapes from our organic vineyards, carefully hand-picked into 20 kg baskets.
To preserve freshness and enhance extraction, the grapes are refrigerated for over 24 hours, allowing us to initiate tannin and color extraction at a very low temperature.
Once ready, we destem the grapes and transfer the juice, along with the skins, into 200L barrels.
A three-day cold soak follows before we introduce wild yeast to kickstart fermentation.
Every eight hours, we perform gentle manual punch-downs in each barrel, ensuring optimal extraction.
To enhance complexity, we introduce two different yeast strains, creating a more layered and nuanced fermentation.
Our focus is on maximizing color and tannin extraction, both essential for the wine’s aging potential.
Fermentation temperatures never exceed 18°C.
Once complete, we transfer the barrels beside the press and carefully move the grape must by hand, without the use of pumps, preserving its delicate structure.
The wine then rests on the lees in tanks at 10°C for 12 months before aging for 18 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels, both old and new.
Finally, after aging, we blend the wine in tank and bottle it without filtration or stabilization, ensuring its purest expression.

Organoleptic profile of Storyteller
A deep, dark red hue hints at the wine’s intensity.
On the palate, firm yet well-integrated tannins create a grippy, chewy texture, gradually giving way to a smooth, refined finish.
The acidity is vibrant yet harmoniously balanced with the alcohol, leading to a long, lingering aftertaste.
The nose is layered and expressive, revealing ripe red fruit aromas intertwined with hints of tobacco, black tea, and subtle chocolate nuances from barrel aging.
A wine of depth and structure, promising elegance and aging potential.

Vineyard
The Dancing Forest Retsina is crafted from three distinct vineyards, each contributing its unique characteristics to the blend. The first 30% of the Athiri component comes from a vineyard nestled on the slopes of a mountain, where ancient, ungrafted vines thrive in limestone-rich soil. Harvested early, this portion brings high acidity and a pronounced minerality to the wine.

The second 30% is sourced from a semi-mountainous vineyard with dark, well-draining stone soil. This addition imparts a more pronounced fruity profile to the blend. The final 40% comes from Assyrtiko, a revered variety in Rhodes. Known for its high acidity, Assyrtiko enhances the wine with both crisp acidity and earthy undertones. This vineyard, located beneath the towering Profítis Ilias Mountain and surrounded by forest, adds depth and complexity to the overall blend.

Production protocol of Dancing Forest
After harvesting the grapes in 20 kg baskets, we refrigerate them for 24 hours to lower their temperature, minimizing oxidation and preserving aromatic compounds. The following day, we destem the grapes and perform a cold soak by adding dry ice to the press. This process extracts more aromas from the skins and contributes to a fuller body and mouthfeel in the wine. We maintain the must at 5°C to encourage the separation of solids at the bottom of the tank. After two days, we transfer the clarified must to another tank and initiate fermentation with wild yeast. This step enhances the wine’s complexity and helps lower volatile acidity. Two days into fermentation, we switch to the primary yeast strain to ensure complete fermentation. One day later, we add 600 grams of pine resin to the fermenting wine to introduce unique aromatic characteristics. Upon fermentation’s completion, we add additional pine resin to further enhance volume and complexity of pine aromas.

The wine then ages on its lees for six months, with temperature control maintained between 10–12°C to preserve freshness and flavor. After aging, we transfer the clear wine to a new tank and lower the temperature for two weeks to stabilize tartaric acid. We then add bentonite to ensure protein stability. Following filtration, the wine is ready for bottling.

Organoleptic profile of Dancing Forest
The wine presents a lively acidity that dances gracefully on the palate, harmonizing beautifully with the rich sweetness of the alcohol. A subtle yet distinct pine aroma leads the olfactory experience, layered with earthy undertones and a bright citrusy freshness. The finish is long and persistent, revealing a pleasing minerality that lingers, inviting another sip.

Pink Fox is an enticingly aromatic blend, brimming with fresh summer notes of peach, strawberry, and delicate floral hints. Sourced from semi-mountainous, organic vineyards, this wine is crafted predominantly from Moscato grapes — the island’s third most popular variety.
Balanced with high-acidity varietals like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, it offers a refreshing contrast to Moscato’s natural sweetness.
Together, they create a unique flavor profile that beautifully captures the essence of its Mediterranean origins.

Vineyard
The Pink Fox vineyards are nestled in several locations beneath Prophet Ilias Mountain. The chalky, limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine’s bright acidity, earthy character, and distinctive minerality.
This unique blend is crafted from two self-rooted old vineyards of Moscato, which make up 60% of the composition. The remaining 40% comes from a carefully selected mix: one vineyard of Chardonnay, two vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc, and a small parcel of Malagouzia. The latter are harvested early to enhance the wine’s acidity and complexity, resulting in a well-balanced and expressive final blend.

Production protocol of Pink Fox organic
After the harvest, the grapes are carefully placed in 20 kg baskets and stored in a refrigerated environment to lower their temperature, preserving their delicate aromatic compounds.
The following day, we destem the grapes and use dry ice to fully protect and extract their aromas from the skins. The juice is then kept at 5°C for two days, allowing natural clarification through gravity.
Once settled, we introduce wild yeast to initiate fermentation. After two days, we transition to the main yeast to ensure a controlled and complete fermentation process.
For this blend, we utilized two fermentation tanks: one inoculated with a thiolic yeast to enhance floral aromas, and the other with an EVC strain, which contributes a rich mouthfeel and vibrant fruit aromas.
Post-fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for six months at 10°C, adding depth and texture.
Before bottling, we naturally stabilize tartaric acid at -2°C and use bentonite, a natural clay mineral, for protein stabilization.
Finally, the wine is filtered and bottled, preserving its purity and character.

Organoleptic profile of Pink Fox organic
Pink Fox glows with a delicate blush hue, kissed by sunlit orange highlights. Its aromatic bouquet bursts with wild roses, honeysuckle, and hints of ripe peaches and strawberries.
The palate is silky yet lively, with a playful acidity that dances elegantly. Juicy notes of white nectarine and raspberry unfold, leading to a lingering, refreshing finish that echoes the warmth of a summer evening.

Vineyard
The vineyards of Amoriano are situated in a stunning semi-mountainous area surrounding the charming village of Embona.
There are a total of five vineyards in the region, most of which are self-rooted and produce around 800 kg per acre.
The Amoriano grape variety, which is also known as Mandilaria in the rest of Greece, is a unique berry-like grape with big berries and grippy tannins that possess a high percentage of anthocyanins.
By using this grape variety, winemakers can create a PDO Rodos as red and dry wine, as well as rosé wine that can be blended with 30% Maurathiriko if desired.

For this year’s label, we chose to go with 100% Amoriano to capture the unique taste and characteristics of this exceptional grape.
To achieve the smooth tannins that are characteristic of Amoriano, winemakers need to take extra care in the winemaking process.
It is important to note that only vineyards located in semi-mountainous areas can produce high-quality red dry wine using this variety.
It is not suitable for cultivation near the sea or in cooler spots; it requires direct sunlight and nutrient-poor soil for grapes of the highest quality.

Production protocol of Amoriano
After harvesting the Amoriano grapes, it is important to store them in the fridge for at least a day to lower the temperature.
However, if the temperature is not low enough, it is advisable to keep the grapes in the fridge for an extra day.
This helps to preserve the grapes’ quality and ensure optimal flavors and aromas are retained.
Once the grapes are adequately cooled, we destem them and place them in oak barrels to ferment.
We ferment the skins and juice together to extract maximum flavor and character.
For the first three days, we perform a cold soak to ensure that the temperature remains low enough for yeast activity.
After the temperature rises to around 12°C, we start fermentation using wild yeast for a low rate before switching to the main yeast on the fifth day.
This year, we used a yeast that was specially selected for its ability to bring out all the characteristic aroma of the Amoriano grape variety.
We ferment the grapes in oak barrels for two weeks, making manual punch-downs every eight hours to extract more anthocyanins while avoiding the pumping of the juice.
This process helps to take only the smooth tannins from the grapes.
To ensure the smoothness of the tannins, we maintain the low fermentation temperature range of 12–18°C.
After two weeks of fermentation, we take the barrels beside the open press and manually transfer the grape skins and juice to the press.
We press until 0.9 atm and lead the juice into a tank for further fermentation and lees aging for ten months.
After aging, we clear the wine naturally with gravity and stability; it comes naturally with time, so no filter or stabilization is needed before the process of bottling.

Organoleptic profile of Amoriano
Its deep color of dark red with blue highlights is just an introduction to what is to come.
Upon nosing, the wine reveals a strong aroma of ripe red fruits, the likes of blackberry, black currant, cherry, and strawberry.
These notes are brilliantly balanced with the background aroma of the terroir, giving it a distinct character.
On the palate, the wine’s fine bouquet is partnered with grippy tannins that quickly balance the full body with roundness.
And just when you thought it can’t get any better, its smooth ending with a long aftertaste leaves a beautiful lingering finish, making it a perfect addition to any wine collection.
Overall, this wine is a lovely example of Sauvignon Blanc with added complexity and depth that is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
Enjoy it with a light meal or simply savor it on its own.

At Sweet Orange Bio, we produce a truly unique juice by carefully crafting it through a distinctive production method. Instead of using artificial heat or mechanical pressing to extract the juice, we rely on the power of the sun and time to naturally dry the grapes. This process allows for a special reaction to occur, known as the Maillard reaction, which enhances the aroma and flavor of the juice by caramelizing the skins of the grapes.

The high levels of natural sugars in the juice also pose a challenge for fermentation, as they can create a harsh or alcoholic taste. To overcome this hurdle, we use a specific strain of yeast that can produce glycerol, a compound that contributes to a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. The yeast cells do this as a defense mechanism against the high osmotic pressure of the sugar-rich environment, resulting in a harmonious balance of sweetness and complexity.

Vineyard

Sweet Orange is crafted from the finest selection of 4 different organic vineyards. Two of these vineyards are home to rare, ungrafted Moschato grapes,which give the wine a unique profile that cannot be found anywhere else on the island of Rodos.

The Chardonnay vineyard boasts an impressive age of 27 years, while the Sauvignon Blanc and Malagouzia vineyards are a respectable six years old. All of these vineyards are located in a semi-mountainous region beneath Prophet Ilias mountain, which is rich in limestone. The grapes from these vineyards are harvested early,around the 25-29 of July.

Production protocol of Sweet Orange

Sweet Orange is a blend of grapes from four distinct vineyards located in semi-mountainous terrain. Our winemaking process begins by sun-drying the grapes for ten days before embarking on a cold soak and a two-day fermentation with the skins. After fermentation concludes, we allow the wine to age for a year with the yeast. The final stage of the process is to mature the wine in premium French oak barrels for a total of 14 months.

The result is a wine that showcases the unique terroir of our vineyards, with notes of sweet citrus and a subtle oak finish.
