Dry, Still, White, Assyrtiko, Ages well, 15% alc.
Assyrtiko is already making history having found its way to the world market and Charidimos Hatzidakis is among those who are raising the profile of the variety vertically. The most terroirist driven of the island's producers, chooses grapes from hundred-year-old vines, giving a softly oxidized style, unique to Assyrtiko after 24 months of aging in old barrels.
Deep yellow bordering on gold, with sherry-like aromas of intentional oxidation on the nose, combined with ripe yellow fruits, dried fruits, Asian spices, tea and chamomile. Rare density for a white wine mouth, with high alcohol that is balanced by the high acidity and the intense mineral sensation that Assyrtiko of Santorini gives. Special, unique and extremely rare since only 400 bottles are produced from the wine. A different, but at the same time characteristic aspect of Santorini in a wine that is making a splash among collectors abroad. If you are not in a hurry, dare to give it more than a decade of development in the bottle.
