- **Event Description**: Join us for a spectacular tasting with Jean-Christophe. 8 wines from iconic Greek winery Ktima Ligas  with curated Greek bitesAbout this EventEven though Greece was a centre for winemaking for centuries, like virtually all wine-making countries in Europe, the phylloxera epidemic wiped out nearly all the vineyards there. When replanting began, many traditional varieties fell from favour and were replaced with international grapes. At the same time, industrial farming replaced time-honoured methods and hundreds of years of winemaking tradition began to be erased.In the early 80’s, near Thessaloniki in Pella, winemaker Thomas Ligas began a quest to revive both the traditional varieties and traditional agricultural practices of the region. He did a deep dive into the local ecosystem and began exploring biodynamic farming. He searched far and wide for cuttings of nearly extinct varieties and began his own grafting nursery.Ktima Ligas was founded in 1985 and embraced organics and permaculture from the start– eschewing all chemicals and additives while encouraging native plants to grow at will. He foraged the nearby mountains for herbs and plants to make herbal treatments with captured rain water to nurture his precious Roditis, Kydonitsa, Xinomavro and Limniona vines.Wines to be tasted:White:IGP Macedoine "Pata Trava" Xinomavro 2022IGP Pella "Roditis" 2022IGP Pella "Assyrtiko barrique" 2021Orange:IGP Pella "Roditis maceration"IGP Macedoine "Gaia Amphora" Kydonitsa 2020Red:VDG "Moschomavro" 2019IGP Pella "Xi-Ro" Xinomavro 2021IGP Pella "Bucephale" Xinomavro 2020IGP Pella "Sauvage Bleu" Limniona 2021In those early days Thomas had little to spend on winemaking, so he embraced natural methods to achieve his goals. Instead of buying enzymes and yeasts, he simply used longer macerations to naturally extract these elements from the skins of the grapes. He skipped pricey sprays, and instead worked to increase the biodiversity in his vineyards, ultimately reducing problems naturally. He also had no need for filtration equipment or added sulphites.This diversity is what Meli enjoys exploring, and she believes maceration is the key. Aside from the cuvée Pata Trava, which is made in a blanc de noirs style via direct press, all of the domaine’s wines all undergo a period of maceration on the skins – ranging from two to five days for the whites to 45 days for the intense red Bucephale Xinomavro. All skin contact is done as an infusion to limit extraction and maximise freshness and most grapes are destemmed. After maceration, the juice is sent by gravity into a vessel where it cools, relaxes and begins a natural ferment. Meli uses special temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with an incline at the bottom for maximum skin contact, and only takes the first jus de goutte – she insists the jus de presse lacks sufficient quality.Meli enlisted a local ceramicist to make amphorae for the maceration of her Kydonitsa, using clay from the nearby Atlas mountains. The porous clay helps extract more of the grape’s minerality and maximises aromatics. Meli says, “After 12 years of tasting with different types of amphorae, we have the ones we need!”That lack of stress is apparent when tasting Ktima Ligas wines. These intense but relaxed wines are exported all over the world and have earned the moniker ‘The Ligas nose’ for their unique profiles. Meli’s vision remains one of biodiversity, purity and transparency, in both the farming and production of the wines. These are honest, unadulterated Greek wines that speak to us of the place where they were grown and made with love.
