2022 Zafeirakis, Young Vineyards Limniona, Tyrnavos

Zafeirakis has been central to the revival of Limniona, a native Thessalian variety that nearly disappeared before being replanted in Tyrnavos. The fruit here comes from younger parcels (up to ~20 years) around Paleomylos, rooted in sandy-clay soils with flint, which keep the wine light on its feet.

Fermented with native yeasts and handled in neutral vessels, with a focus on keeping extraction gentle. No heavy oak shaping. Limniona sits somewhere between Pinot and cool-climate Syrah—red fruit, herbs, a bit of earth—but the key is the texture: light, lifted, and easy to drink without losing structure.
