    The vine grower Spyros Chrysos takes over the family vineyards with the old vines over 80+ years old. At the same time he embraces traditional practices: organic vineyards that are cultivated without mechanical means, experimentation with biodynamic farming, indigenous yeasts, low sulphites that bring back the roots to the modern view of quality white winemaking. The result is that his Santorini has much more than just a dose of sea freshness and lemony minerality. Alongside the remarkable saltiness and ash-like minerality, there is a soft - full of flesh - fruitiness that ultimately lead the wine to a mouthfeel with the characteristic razor-sharp "feel" of Santorini but also excellent depth and rich texture. A wine that has everything you would expect from an authentic expression of Santorini with which the young winemaker manages to reflect the day ahead for the island.

    More info

    The presence of winemaker Spyros Chrysos in Santorini comes to broaden the range of complexity of the famous volcano's wines. The more the top Greek terroir charts its course towards maturity, the more Santorini wines will be able to express the different, "subtle", nuances of the terroir. After all, what else do you expect from such a great vineyard? It's like having a classic film made with the talents of different directors who all give something of their unique personal perspective. And Spyros' take on terroir is the best the island has to offer at the moment. The wine is produced from organically grown vineyards in three different villages of Santorini, Pyrgos, Megalochori and Akrotiri and a "soft" hand vinification. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and the wine is patiently "rested" on its lees for 7 months. It develops an intensely spicy and mineral character with depth and concentration as a result of the excellent raw material and vinification. The wine has fantastic nerve and density on the palate, with the acidity providing it with boundless energy and great ageing potential. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
