Description
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai’a Estate (pronounced Yay-ya)
was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Their
mission was to capture the best that Greece’s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging
traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques. The estate is named
after “Mother Earth,” in honor of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines.
The grapes for the Monograph Assyrtiko come from vineyards located in the semi-mountainous
Koutsi region of Nemea. Unlike the bone-dry, volcanic soils of its native Santorini, the
calcareous soils of mainland Greece impart an entirely different character to the varietal, giving
it a wider range of exotic fruit flavors and aromas.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
A youthful, intensely fruity Assyrtiko, with a bouquet of honeysuckle and citrus fruit and a
refreshing acidity on the palate.
F O O D P A I R I N G
A classic pairing for fresh seafood, this wine is also delightful on its own as an appertif or paired
with light appetizers.
