Anabasis - Hatziioannou Estate 500ml
Crafted from the Hatziioannou family’s own organic, anhydrous vineyards on the eastern side of Samos—an area famed for its exceptionally arid climate—Anabasis is a heartfelt tribute to place and heritage. These sixth-generation vineyards are cared for with deep respect for the land, producing grapes that capture the island’s rugged beauty.
Anabasis is made as a young, wild-fermented Samos, relying solely on native yeasts for fermentation. This hands-off approach allows the wine’s natural minerality, subtle saline hints, and citrus-driven aromas to shine with purity and authenticity. In 2021, it gained international recognition, earning awards in two prestigious competitions—one in Italy and another in Belgium—affirming its balance and craftsmanship.
On the palate, Anabasis delivers layers of orange peel, bergamot freshness, and a light mineral thread, with a fine interplay of sweetness and acidity. It offers both sunlit vibrancy and refined elegance, making it equally suited for intimate dinners or thoughtful gatherings. Its harmonious texture reflects Samos’s sun-drenched terroir while remaining approachable and versatile.
Food pairings highlight its Mediterranean spirit—think lightly seasoned seafood such as grilled prawns with lemon, creamy cheeses, whole-grain flatbread, and crisp salads. Its delicate, mineral-infused character lifts each dish, adding freshness without overpowering.
More than just a wine, Anabasis embodies the Hatziioannou family’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and authentic winemaking. Each sip is an invitation to taste the essence of Samos—its arid landscapes, its sea-kissed breezes, and the passion of those who have tended these vines for generations.
This is a bottle for special moments, delivering not only flavor but a sense of place and purpose. In every glass, Anabasis offers a rare and elegant taste of Samos’s sun-baked beauty—crafted to be savored, shared, and remembered.
