Samas is named after the Punic or Phoenician God of the Sun. Vermentino and Chardonnay grapes grown in a predominantly calcareous and sandy soil are hand harvested at dawn to maintain characteristic varietal notes and freshness. Whole clusters are pressed in a cold inert atmosphere. These cryomaceration techniques prevent oxidation. The must is inoculated with select yeasts and undergoes a prolonged fermentation at controlled temperatures (60 Fahrenheit) in stainless steel tanks with continuous stirring that lasts for approximately 40 days. The wine then ages on the less for 2. 5 months in the stainless steel tanks. Vinified separately, the varieties are blended, and the wine then rests in small concrete vats for 3 months to complete maturation and undergo a natural stabilization. The wine is neither filtered nor clarified.
