Description
Appellation: Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Santorini
Type: Natural sweet wine from sun dried grapes
Varieties: Assyrtiko 85% & Aidani 15%
Vintage 2002 – Bottling 2023
A fine dessert wine from the sun-dried grapes Assyrtiko and Aidani of Santorini. The long ageing gave us a complex bouquet with aromas of quince and orange sweet preserve, coffee, raisins and herbs. A unique dessert wine with excellent structure and long aftertaste. Best serve at 8oC. Great ageing potential. Any sediment existing in the bottle is a normal effect of the ageing process.
