WHITE WINE - Greece

100% Assyrtiko from Santorini.
Vinification: Typical, white wine vinification techniques, in stainless steel tanks, under controlled temperature.
Colour: Pale Yellow, with green hues.
Nose: Aromatic, with citrus fruit and minerality.
Mouth: Minerality is evident, as a result of Santorini’s unique terroir. Quite “austere” as wine, with the acidity being the back-bone of the wine, allowing it to age. Petrol notes and honey-suckle appear in aged Assyrtikos, similar to the German and Alsatian Rieslings. DOMAINE SIGALAS

There is no doubt that Gaia has established itself as one of the Greece's greatest wineries. Gaia Wines resulted from a partnership between Agronomist Leon Karatsolas and one of Greece's leading wine figures, Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Today they are leading the pack in quality. They are a benchmark producer for the region.

Last years version was great and this year it seems to have topped it by a good mile weaving together a fleshy, ripe and mineral laden white that is sure to please. It's a triple threat of moschofilero, roditis and assyrtiko. Each bring their own vibe with the pretty, floral moschofilero adding some top notes and seductive aromatics. The roditis form the core with it steel freshness and tight, compact fruit. The Assyrtiko fleshes this all out with preserved lemon, citrus, white fruits and a zippy freshness and lush fruits. What a combo.

The Argyros family has been making wine on Santorini since 1903. Yiannis Argyros took over the winery in 1974 and has worked hard to ensure that the quality of the fruit is as good as possible. Argyros is especially highly regarded for vinsanto and dry white both made from Assyrtiko.

A blend of native Greek varietals, Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani, from the island of Santorini.
