Wine maker’s notes
Vinification
Arktos Fumé Blanc comes from high-altitude vineyards in Xino Nero and Agios Panteleimonas, at 700 meters. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 4 months in oak barrels, it reflects Artemis’ quiet passion for expressing varietal character with subtle barrel influence.
Tasting & pairing Notes
Brilliant lemon-hued in the glass, with delicate aromas of green apple, white nectarine, zesty lime and lemon, green bell pepper, and crisp pineapple. Subtle layers of toasted nuts, cedar, and warm bread add complexity. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with a fresh, citrus-driven acidity. A blend of tangy citrus and tart tropical fruits unfolds, joined by floral lemon notes and a touch of herbaceousness. It closes with a lingering, spicy finish. It pairs effortlessly with seafood like smoked salmon or marinated anchovies, as well as white meats such as lemon-roasted chicken with oven potatoes. Best served at 9-12°C.
