VANTANA TSIPOURO –without aniseed–
|
This exquisite spirit accompanying our people’s joyful moments is produced from grape marc, distilled without adding aniseed.
Vantana Tsipouro is produced from grapes of Greek aromatic varieties grown on selected vineyards under controlled conditions, respecting humans and the environment. After alcoholic fermentation, the marc is distilled in small discontinuous copper stills through a patient and thorough process to maintain its primary aromas.
Only the “heart” is kept for Vantana Tsipouro. The distillation contains the purest, richest and finest aromas, a velvety taste that is free from harmful substances.
The distillate is then diluted with crystal-clear water from the mountains of Erymanthos. After being filtered, it is kept in storage tanks long enough to be homogenised and stabilised before it is transferred to the bottles with the characteristic dark green label.
Tasting it means mustering all senses. Look at it in the light: it is clear and translucent. Smell it and feel its aromatic character. Hold it in your mouth and feel the magic of distillation. This is how you enjoy Vantana Tsipouro.
It’s crystal clear in appearance. It is delicate on the nose with intense fruity aromas and floral notes, a complex bouquet and a palette of aromas. In the mouth, it is sophisticated and velvety, softly alcoholic with a long finish. Richness and finesse form a whole with exceptional length.
Enjoy it neat, preferably cold, or on the rocks.
It can be also used as a base for inspired cocktails or as a simple addition.
Vantana Tsipouro is the drink of “freedom” that does not obey many rules. Such a dominant flavour requires equally dominant food pairings in terms of flavour intensity. Its aggressive flavours call for it to be paired with spicy dishes, meat, and cheese, but also special flavours such as fish roe, smoked eel, stewed seafood and many Mediterranean cuisine dishes.
It has received the following awards:
- Silver Award, London Spirits Competition 2021
- Silver Award, Olymp Awards 2017
