Sweet, Still, White, Aidani, Athiri, Assyrtiko, Ages well, 13.5% alc.
1st in score rating (98/100) among 18,093 of the Decanter Competition 2021! One of the greatest sweet wines, not only of Greece but of all of Europe. A Vinsanto that has been aged for at least 16 years in the cellars of the Argyros Estate in Santorini with unimaginable complexity and very nicely balanced sweetness that comes from vines of over 200 years old. It is worth every euro you will spend to get it!
Overripe grapes from Assyrtiko, Aidani and Athiri are strictly selected in the region of Episkopi and dried under the hot sun of Santorini for about fourteen days. After fermentation the wine matures for 3 years in concrete tanks and then ages for 16 years in old wooden tanks. Its color is deep copper. The aromatic evolution of the wine in the glass is sensational, with dried fruits such as plum and raisin, orange peel chocolate, caramel, honey, coffee, nuts and honeycomb. The flavor concentration and freshness in the mouth are underlined by the amazing acidity that balances the sweetness, leaving an endless aftertaste.
