2024 Savatiano '700 Thespians' Muses Estate

Valley of the Muses, Greece

Citrus on Stone

Bright, taut and quietly captivating, the 2024 ‘700 Thespians’ shows Savatiano in a far more refined light than many expect. Lemon zest, grapefruit peel and lime blossom lead the way, giving the wine a pure, citrus-driven profile from the outset, while a subtle mineral freshness keeps everything feeling precise and composed. There is lovely clarity here, but also a gentle texture through the middle, so the wine feels polished rather than sharp, with a clean, refreshing finish that lingers on citrus and cool stone.

For when: lunch is simple, the sun is out, and the bottle needs to vanish with ease.
Pairs with: grilled prawns, crisp salads, white fish, or salty feta with herbs.
If this wine were a place: a bright Greek terrace with white stone underfoot and citrus on the table.

Muses Estate is based in the Valley of the Muses in Central Greece, on the slopes of Mount Helicon, where altitude, cooling breezes and limestone-influenced soils help preserve freshness and definition in the wines. The estate has become one of the region’s most exciting names, combining careful vineyard work with a modern, precise approach to Greece’s native varieties. In ‘700 Thespians’, Savatiano is given a more elegant, terroir-led expression, showing just how refined, vibrant and quietly sophisticated this historic Greek grape can be.

His passion for wine and the millennia-old winemaking traditions of his homeland, led Nikolaos Zaharias to create a small winery in 1946 in Askri, in Central Greece, fulfilling his life-long dream. In 1967, his son, Athanasios Zaharias, entered the family business and brought with him dynamic and forward-thinking ideas, and gradually they transformed the small artisanal winery into a modern winery. In 2005, the year when ‘Muses Estate’ was created, it was time for the third generation Nikos, Stelios and Panayiotis, to take their place in the family business. Their skills, scientific knowledge and youthful ideas, combined with the family tradition and experience further enriched Muses Estate. From their vines grown on the slopes of the Valley of the Muses, at the foot of Mount Helicon, they aim to produce wines that are in perfect harmony with the ecosystem, and are representative of the historic terroir, as well as the family itself. They succeed: their exquisite wines are vibrant with mountain freshness that truly evoke the senses.

Fermentation took place at 18°C in stainless-steel tanks using selected yeasts. Each parcel was vinified separately and rested on its fine lees in stainless-steel tanks for approximately one month, with periodic stirring. After blending, the wine matured for another two months, during which a small percentage was aged in new concrete vats, enhancing mouthfeel and subtle complexity without the influence of oak. Named after the 700 Thespian volunteers who fought bravely at the Battle of Thermopylae, embodying
courage, freedom and self-sacrifice, this wine symbolises the quiet strength and resilience of the Valley of the Muses.
