Description

Biblia Chora Ovilos Semillion/Assyrtiko 2019

Winner Gold Medal in Decanter Wine Awards 2020

The Ovilos Barrell Fermented Semillon Assyrtiko Blend from Biblia Chora is often described as a Greek version of a white Graves. It's got a light yellow colour with a green hue, enticing aromas of peach and vanilla with a burst of fresh grapefruit and minerals. Ovilos white wine has wonderful weight and added texture on the palate with notable minerality. Ovilos from Biblia Chora is superb when served with risottos or creamy pasta dishes.

This is one of the newest estates on the Greek scene. Evangelos Geravassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsalis are two of the best white wine makers in Greece. The vineyards are based near Kavala, the second largest city in the north of Greece, where the excellent soil and microclimate provide long growing seasons.

Vinification
100% fermented in oak for 6 months with full malolactic fermentation.

The density of the planting is 4.000 plants/ha. All works (pruning, harvest ) are handled by hand.

FAQ'S

Can you explain your shipping charges?

We charge the amount the courier charges us to deliver the wines. In the majority of cases this is £10.00 for a dozen wines. For local delivery we charge £5.00 as we can often do this ourselves, by local we mean Milton Keynes.

Couriers charge by weight and size and a case of wines is both heavy and bulky and so the costs are fairly high. The charges are the same if you are buying 1 bottle or 6 bottles but they change if you go over 6 bottles due the the excess weight and size. Couriers also charge a fee to cover fuel excess and this all goes towards the total cost not to mention the 20% VAT to be added to everything.

Currently if someone orders a dozen wines they are charged £10.00 but if they order 24 bottles the charge is the same!

If you wish to have your wines shipped to other countries the costs are extreemly high and often not worth paying for. The cost for example to ship to the USA for a dozen wines would be £100.00 for the shipping alone! Therefore we have taken the decision not to ship any wines outside of the UK.

What is your minimum order?

The minimum order is 1 bottle! I prefer it if people order more and you get better value with the delivery if you do this too!

What if I want to send wine as a gift?

No problem, we will send to your preferred address and even include a card free of charge!

We have two kinds of cards a blank one and a Thank you one. However if you want a Valentines one or a birthday card or anyother type of card please let us know. We will write your personal greeting and even include the soppy stuff. We don't charge for the cards as its our way of thanking you for choosing us to send a gift to your loved one.

What about a discount?

I may be able to take a little off the price if you ask nicely and there is a large enough order. Please do not ask for a discount on any orders under 12 bottles. Email me with your requirements and I will let you know if I can do anything. However the best way to get a discount is to sign up for the newsletter as there is often special offers given away to newsletter subscribers.
