Sweet, Still, White, Aidani, Athiri, Assyrtiko, Ages well, 11.5% alc.
Another jewel in the crown of greek sweet wines that placed Greece on the global radar. A great attempt by the estate to give us a Vinsanto, accompanied by a twist on the traditional style of wine and took eight years to get in the bottle. Complexity, richness and balance all in one bottle of 500ml.
Images shown above are indicative
Deep amber color with obvious condensation on its face. 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, indeed slightly syrupy. Intense; Yes. Dessert; For sure. Fatiguing? No way. And 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 continue to get better year after year.
