Barrel-aged Santorini meant for large fish barbecues. The overripe fruit sensation and the strong presence of the barrel balance with the explosive acidity of the wine. Forget it for a few years in your cellar, the result will be particularly complex.

Producer's Description: Harvest: Last days of August.Winemaking: The winemaking technique begins with the pre-fermentation extraction, a process aimed at transmitting the aromatic potential found in the grape skins to the must. Just before the midpoint of alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred to 225-liter French oak barrels, where it matures for 12 months before bottling. After bottling, the wine remains in the underground cellars of our winery for another 12 months, to complete the minimum time of reductive aging, so that it arrives perfected to the consumer.Characteristics: Bright golden yellow wine, distinguished by its rich varietal aromatic character. Dominant aromas of nuts, honey, and tea against a background of vanilla. Rich mouthfeel with a unique mineral character featuring a strange yet wonderful combination of lemon, salt, sulfur, and pumice. Its perfectly balanced taste combines with a long and intensely aromatic aftertaste.It accompanies: Served at 12 °C, it complements intense spicy flavors, fatty fish, white meats, and even red meats with light sauces.You have in your hands a wine with a strong personality. The special attention we gave it at all stages of production from vineyard to leaving the winery, has endowed it with a complete and refined wine result, highlighting the versatility of Assyrtiko. It is known that all wines, especially whites, are not suitable for aging. However, here we are dealing with Assyrtiko, with its intense acidity, even at very high alcohol levels. This acidity is a necessary prerequisite for a wine to age properly. We must not overlook that white wine oxidizes more easily than red, therefore it is significantly less resistant over time. That's why you should store it carefully to enjoy it even after an additional 5 years.
