The Gaia Nychteri takes our favorite Santorini Assyrtiko to a whole new level. The salty, zesty aromatic character of the variety and the sharp acidity are dressed by a spicy soft veil from the oak ageing. Each bottle begs for special grilled seafood delicacies to make the perfect scene.

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.
