{"title":"Jason Ligas \u0026 UWC Samos","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"32\" data-end=\"554\"\u003eJason Ligas \u0026amp; UWC Samos is best understood as a meeting point between two very different sides of Greek wine. On one side is Jason Ligas, one of the key names in Greek natural wine, who grew up at Domaine Ligas, studied in Montpellier, and later worked on projects across Greece, including Samos. On the other is UWC Samos, the historic island cooperative founded in 1934, which still connects thousands of local growers and has played a major role in protecting viticulture on Samos. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eWhat makes this collaboration interesting is its focus on showing another face of Samos Muscat. Instead of the sweet style many people know, the work here looks toward dry, textured and more raw expressions of the grape. The fruit comes from high-altitude old bush vines, often 30 to 70 years old, grown by hand on poor schist soils. In the cellar, the approach is low-intervention: spontaneous fermentation, little or no additives, and ageing in vessels such as oak, amphora or concrete to keep the wine lively and honest. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003eThere is also a clear idea behind it: to protect old vineyards, respect traditional work on the island, and give value to small plots and local growers. That balance between Jason Ligas’s natural-wine mindset and the long history of UWC Samos gives these wines a strong sense of place: salty, mineral, Mediterranean, and deeply linked to the terraces of Samos.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jason-ligas-socorro","title":"Socorro","description":"\u003cp\u003eSocorro is a small-batch white made in collaboration between \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/antihype.wine\/\" title=\"Antihype Wine - No Hype.

It’s based on small-berried Muscat, grown on Samos at high altitude from 30–70 year-old bush vines rooted in schist soils. Farming is certified organic with a biodynamic mindset, relying mainly on hand work.\u003cbr\u003eIn the cellar, the wine follows a minimal-intervention path: free-run juice only, a long, gentle fermentation with no added yeast, and no filtration. It then rests in a mix of vessels—large oak, amphora, and concrete eggs—to build texture while keeping the grape’s natural lift. Finished with an organic cork and hand-waxed seal, Socorro is a characterful take on Muscat that feels pure and carefully made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Ligas \u0026 UWC Samos","offers":[{"title":"2024 \/ 75CL","offer_id":51952025502038,"sku":"JLAN0012475","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9763\/3878\/files\/jason-ligas-socorro.jpg?v=1765843103"}],"url":"https:\/\/antihype.wine\/es\/collections\/jason-ligas-uwc-samos.oembed","provider":"Antihype Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
