Its name is a reference to the morning hours in which the harvest takes place. Hatzidakis winery collects over-matured handpicked grapes from Assyrtiko variety from selected vineyards of the island of Santorini that they are placed in a cold room overnight. Then destemmed grapes remained in skin contact for 12 hours. The must fermented with indigenous yeasts at 18˚C. The wine matured in oak barrels of different capacity for 12 months. Bottling was unfiltered in order not to lose the primary aromas of the grape.
