Carefully selected vineyards with old vines, located at special locations of Pyrgos, Megalochori, Exo Gonia, Akrotiri and Fira.
Classic white type vinification, partial pre-fermentative maceration. Only free-run juice is used; fermentation under controlled temperature with selected and indigenous yeasts. Approximately 10% of the wine ferments in oak. The minimalistic winemaking approach is followed during all stages of production. Wine ages ”sur-lies” for at least 8 months.
Typical and austere expression of Santorini. Mineral nose with fruity (peach, pear) and herbal (tea, chamomile) hints. Creamy feel balancing Assyrtiko’s nerve and high acidity. Highly concentrated aromas, fine complexity, and long, salty aftertaste.
Best served at 10-12°C. Pairs ideally with top class roasted fish, shellfish, Asian dishes, lamb or any type of white meat cooked with aromatic herbs.
