Sous le Végétal
Sous le Végétal est le projet viticole ambitieux fait maison, né sur l'île grecque de Samos. Initialement imaginé par Jason Ligas, le projet a pris un nouvel essor grâce à l'expertise de Patrick Bouju, figure emblématique du vin naturel en Auvergne, et au soutien indéfectible de la Maison Culinaries. Ensemble, ils ont insufflé une nouvelle vie à ce terroir unique, en s'appuyant sur le savoir-faire ancestral d'une coopérative locale et en sublimant le cépage emblématique de l'île : le muscat petit grain.

Auguste Red 2018
Sous le Végétal
Auguste is the Roman emperor, and it's also the grape variety. The only dry red in the project, it reflects the salinity of the schist and the freshness and acidity of the quartz. Its cherry and red fruit aromas remain elegant and taut, with rich tannins. A long, full wine with a saline finish. Decanting is recommended.
Where?
Village of Pagondas, on the foothills of Mount Karvounis, not far from the Heraion of Samos. Schist and quartz soils. The wine is made from a blend of
four types of rock on two plots.
The vines
The avgoustiatis grape variety ("the august") is interplanted with the muscats of the Livia cuvée, another reason for its name. Avgoustiatis is a rare variety, the first red grape variety harvested in Greece. It is grown organically in conversion to permaculture. The vines, pruned in goblet form, are harvested by hand on the morning of August 15th.
Vinification
Free-run juice obtained by maceration in stainless steel vats by diffusion for forty days, whole bunches. No aeration or stabilization: only settling, pumping over and topping up are carried out. Half of the vinification is in 500-liter Stockinger barrels and half in ovoid concrete vats. Wine without additives, unfiltered, bottled by gravity and transferred by peristaltic pump into black bottles ensuring aging. Aged in bottles with organic cork without paraffin, sealed with a mixture of paraffin and black beeswax.
