TAMA NATURAL SWEET WINE 2009 from Ikaria<\/h3>\n

This wine expresses the rare sweet side of Fokiano and the ageing power of Ikaria. It is not just a dessert wine. Instead, it is a concentrated and collectible bottle with a strong connection to time, grape maturity and natural winemaking.<\/p>\n

TAMA NATURAL SWEET WINE 2009 and 100% Fokiano<\/h3>\n

Fokiano gives this wine natural intensity, dense body and deep aromatic character. In this natural sweet expression, the variety reveals fig, anama honey, sweet grapes and mature complexity. In addition, acidity balances the sweetness and keeps the wine vibrant, rich and gastronomic.<\/p>\n

Noble rot and careful dehydration<\/h3>\n

Afianes Wines uses a special technique for this vintage. Half of the grapes dehydrate gently on the plants, while the rest dehydrate on frames in an outdoor shaded space. Then, after noble rot has developed, the grapes are pressed. This process gives the wine greater concentration, natural sweetness and a deeper aromatic profile.<\/p>\n

Slow fermentation and long ageing<\/h3>\n

Fermentation takes place in a closed stainless-steel tank below 10\u00b0C and lasts 80 days. Then, the wine stays in old oak barrels for 2 years. During this period, aeration, stirring, decanting and return to barrel take place four times. Finally, the wine remains for another 2 years in stainless steel before bottling.<\/p>\n

Taste profile of TAMA NATURAL SWEET WINE 2009<\/h3>\n

In the glass, this wine shows a mellow, deep honey color with dense body and long-lasting legs. On the nose, it offers fig, anama honey and sweet grapes. On the palate, it feels balanced, rich and warm, with grape jam, anama honey and white truffle mushroom notes. Despite its high alcohol, it remains lively, complex and very long.<\/p>\n

Food pairing ideas<\/h3>\n

You can pair this natural sweet wine with caramelized fruit, fruit with honey, fruit salads, chocolate, dried nuts and high-fat cheeses with honey. It also works beautifully as an aperitif or as a dessert wine after a special meal. Moreover, its density and acidity allow it to pair with both sweet and savory flavors.<\/p>\n
