Hüpnos 2018

Sous le Végétal is a collaborative wine project by Jason Ligas and Patrick Bouju. The aim is to highlight rare grape varietals & different expressions of the grape 'Muscat Blanc á Petits Grains' featuring different slopes, terroir and wine production methods.

The wines are grown and made on the Greek island of Samos, located close to Turkey.  

This Hupnos is taken from one plot on the slopes of mount Karvounis, which is made of basalt and limestone. The grapes are macerated on the skins for 40 days and then aged in large old barrels, so this is an orange wine.
