While Santorini Assyrtiko has intense fruit character, it is defined by its sense of the ground - think powdered rocks, oyster shells and rockpools - with fresh lemon citrus holding it together. Bracing acidity provides the backbone to the wine which still shows a lot of depth and complexity on the palate. A perfect harmony of freshness and substance, with fabulous fruit intensity. Amazing to drink now, this dine white wine can also be cellared.

Press Review
" Ripe and delicious, this big and fruity Santorini is better today for its young fruit than its structure, but there is firmness underneath the initial blast of fruit. It rolls over the tongue and tastes great in its youth. Experience suggests this will be better in a couple of years and that it will age throughout the decade, maybe more. It was certainly better the next day, fleshing out and showing off more of its structure. This has one key question: Will it hold its balance as it ages? It's very big and it has to show that it can hold and become better, not just be a big and ripe fruit bomb. It has a pretty good chance to do so, but this blockbuster style will also drink well young. Still, cellar it for a couple of years for best results. Then, we will have a better idea where its ceiling is. Drink 2023-2032. "
Press Review
" A fresh assyrtiko with aromas of lemons, pineapples, white pepper and wild herbs. Crisp and vibrant with a medium body and long, clean and mineral finish. Drink now or hold. "
Winemaking
Grapes are harvested at full maturity then very gently pressed in a pneumatic press over 6 hours. Vinified in a dry style in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, then the wine undergoes bâtonnage in tank for 3 months.
