As summer edges ever closer, it seems the right time to share a new collection of wonderful Greek wines from Domaine de Kalathas.
The wines of Kalathas possess an energy which will be familiar to anyone who has visited the Cyclades. Open to the elements, Tinos is perhaps the most wild and windswept of the group and it was the island’s rugged beauty which led Jérôme Binda to move here with his family from France over a decade ago.
The Bindas’ vineyards can be found crawling amongst a remote, otherworldly landscape strewn with giant boulders, some three hundred to four hundred metres above the Aegean in the island’s east. The old bush vines of indigenous varieties are up to two hundred years of age and planted on their original roots over weathered, sandy granite soils, which lend the wines a nourishing, mineral quality. The wines possess an intensity which captures the warmth, light and wind of this beautiful place to great effect.
This latest collection offers new vintages of some familiar favourites, a cellar release of Sainte Obéissance and a handful of magnums which would be a real treat enjoyed amongst friends in the sunshine.
Jérôme’s wines are now available on Tutto a Casa
