Its color is light lemon-green. Its aromas are citrusy with an emphasis on lemon, grapefruit and orange peel, followed by notes of peach, pear, gunpowder-like minerality and touches of green tea. The mouth is very complex and balanced with its acidity being very high, the minerals being intense and the aftertaste living us a feel of freshly squeezed lemonade. It is one of the wines that can evolve for at least a decade.
The vineyard of Episkopi, from which the grapes for this rare wine originate, is the oldest of Santorini. The privately owned vineyards of the Argyros Estate, called Monsignori, are over 200 years old, plowed with mules and the fruit they give expresses in a unique way the island's terroir. The sharp acidity, zesty profile and wonderful mineral character make it one of the island's top wines. On the label we see the old canava (cave to store wine) of the Argyros family from 1800.
