TERRACOTTA, LIMNIONA. DOMAINE ZAFEIRAKIS
Christos Zafeirakis, though still quite young, believed in and gave prominence to the Limniona red variety and thus today
we are able to refer to it as one of the most up-and-coming, indigenous red varieties. His efforts to test the limits of this variety are unceasing. This time, he recommends a Limniona of organic grapes that he fermented with native yeasts and then allowed
to age for 18 months in an amphora. The outcome is a sensational wine, with a deep fruity flavor and unprecedented finesse.
We were asked to get inspired and design on such an outcome, based on the distinctiveness of that new product.
The way to address and illustrate the creator’s philosophy, who chose to apply the oldest and now forgotten method of wine making, has been an unprecedented experience for us too.
The source of inspiration was an unexpected but fateful finding during plowing the particular vineyard.
The base of an old handmade clock-device, obviously buried there for a long time, and its design was what urged us to promote the message of the inseparable and precious relation with our past and its values - the time and space that signifies
the creator’s thinking, course of action and research as well as his constant quest for new practices and suggestions.
