When Ben visited the northern Peloponnese on holiday he was immediately taken by the wild mountain vineyards and the bright mineral whites they make with the native pink-skinned Roditis grape. He asked Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos to make two own label wines for the Indigo Selection. Panagiotis works in a low intervention way with native varietals, from high altitude sites cooled by the sea breezes from the Gulf of Corinth. Kyrenia is an refreshing savoury white, with a hint of mint and thyme.
