Dry, Still, White, Assyrtiko, Ages well, 14% alc.
The connection of Apostolos Mountrichas with the anhydrous Santorini land and Assyrtiko is becoming stronger and stronger. The sun, the light, the air, the volcanic land, the sea and the water, the elements of nature that create the shocking terroir of Santorini, are beautifully expressed in this great wine. The complexity, the purity of the fruit, the sharp acidity and the mineral feeling put it in the pantheon of the top white wines of the world.
Assyrtiko comes from ungrafted vineyards of over 60 years old, formed in a traditional basket shape of training in the area of Pyrgos. The fermentation is carried out by the native yeasts and the wine matures with its fine lees in a concrete oval tank for 9 months. Its color is lemon green. Its aroma is particularly complex with plenty of citrus fruits combined with hints of peach and mineral notes. Its structure in the mouth is rock solid, with high acidity and a very long aftertaste that leaves a feeling of saltiness. It is a wine that promises great emotions to those who have the patience to keep it in their cellar, as it can evolve for at least 10 years.
