PDO Santorini
Variety : Assyrtiko 90% and 10% Athiri and Aidani
Origin of grapes : Old vineyards that reach 100 years of age from the vineyards in the area of Megalochori and Pyrgos at an altitude of up to 400 meters. Late harvest, influenced by tradition, to enhance the body and the aromatic potential.
Winemaking : Receiving only the appetizer from the press and after thawing, the juice is taken to the barrels to start fermentation. Large volumes, non-combustible or moderate combustion barrels and a small percentage of 1 use compose the profile of the wood used. Frequent stirring during fermentation and aging in the presence of whole wineries. Total maturation for 16 months. The bottles are available on the market after 1.5 years from the harvest in order to highlight the complex and special character that Assyrtiko acquires during its aging.
Description : Intense aromatic combining on the nose nuts with ripe yellow fruits, honey, quince but also advanced minerality. Rich and greasy in the mouth with a strong character, our Night is a pure "dynamite" wine with an exuberant body that balances due to the electrical acidity and the long salty aftertaste.
Possibility of aging : 8-10 years.
Awards :
2015: Silver medal 17th International Wine Competition of Thessaloniki
2014: Jancis Robinson (JH MW): 17+
Serving and combining food : It is recommended to transfer to a carafe to breathe and open the wine.
Served : at 12-14. C. Exclusive dishes with strong flavors but also so the wine will again be the protagonist. It is a wine that can replace red in some combinations with food. We suggest you originalize and try it with pork with orange instead of the most common combination with fish and seafood.
