Wild Wines This Week

APLA in Greek means “simply” — their wines represent Oenops’ philosophy in producing wines to always be enjoyed.

Oenops was founded in 2015 by talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas, who produces a stunning range of distinctive wines from his newly established state-of-the-art winery. He sources indigenous and rare grape varieties grown on exceptional terroir focusing on cool-climate sites and old-vine plots, from carefully selected vineyards in Drama and Macedonia, which have been cultivated by ambitious winegrowers using an organic philosophy.

Niko adopts a minimal intervention approach and vinifies plot by plot using stainless steel, concrete, oak barrels, and amphora. His aim is to source great fruit and craft wines that reflect the nuances of the native varieties and the identity of the terroir and as a result, he produces a collection of authentic, elegant, and delicious wines.

A TASTE OF SPRING FROM GALICIA —

The Flower and The Bee Treixadura D.O. Ribeiro 2022 is the starting point to understand and appreciate the complexity of the Galician terroir and its native grape varieties.
