GAIA Assyrtiko ‘Wild ferment’ 2019**sold out**
About the wine:
100% Assyrtiko
The Assyrtiko grape, from the upland vineyard of Pyrgos, is a more aromatic than the Assyrtiko from the other parts of Santorini island. After undergoing the 12-hour skin contact process at around 10°C, the grape must is placed in small 1000 l INOX tanks and in new 225 l French oak barrels. The temperature is then allowed to rise naturally, without any further involvement. From that point on, modern technology passes the baton to traditional winemaking. Fermentation develops on its own at a gradual pace. The yeast strains that will prevail are the ones which eventually will determine the new wine’s character. In every tank and barrel something different will occur. Then the best Assyrtiko wine is selected.
This wine can be aged during 2-3 years and the wine will undergo profound changes.
Pairs well with any kind of fish and chicken, and sushi!
