Rose petals

Apricot and lychee with a scent of rose petals. This aromatic white feels full, then a fresh citrus edge brings it back into balance. The wine ferments and matures for five months in amphora. A glass for a quiet evening when you want to linger over the aromas.

You’ll notice the flowery scent and the fresh citrus underneath the ripe fruit.

AT THE TABLE

Prawns with ginger and lemongrass

The fragrant fruit suits the ginger and citrus freshness meets the lemongrass.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Duck with apricots

Concentrated fruit has enough weight for the duck and echoes the apricots.

FOR SHARING

Mild coconut chicken curry

The aromatic intensity suits the spices and the fresh edge balances the coconut.

Also good

Try soft Brie with pear; the floral scent and ripe fruit give the cheese a fragrant companion.

Skip

A smoky chilli barbecue sauce would hide the rose and lychee aromas.

Jima: a family journey through Epirus

Panos and Kristy built Jima beside their family home in Kalomodia, surrounded by gardens and an old citrus grove. Their wines follow three very different corners of Epirus: the breezy Ambracian Gulf, the traditional wine villages of Zitsa and the cooler slopes of Konitsa. Local grapes such as Debina and Vlahiko give that journey its own accent.
