Sweet, Still, White, Aidani, Athiri, Assyrtiko, Ages well, 11.5% alc.
Anniversary Vinsanto from the Gaia Estate aged for 20 years in 4th use or older barrels
Deep amber color with obvious condensation in its texture. Aroma bomb of dried figs, apricots and plums, with raisin, coffee, caramel, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and the list goes on. Here we have Christmas in a bottle. In the mouth, it is indeed slightly syrupy. Intense; Yes. Dessert; For sure. Fatiguing? No way. We have the hard-core acidity of Santorini Assyrtikos to thank, which makes this dessert wine so balanced and paradoxically light.
It is usually served chilled. We recommend it almost frozen. Along with a chocolate souffle or a very salty cheese. This wine can quite possibly age forever and keep getting better.
