SANTORINI
MIKRA THIRA
Protected Designation of Origin Santorini
Our own take on the Assyrtiko of Santorini
This wine is produced from the famed white indigenous Assyrtiko variety. The grapes are exclusively grown in Santorini using the traditional ‘kouloura’ method with a low grape yield per hectare.
The wine is made using classic white wine vinification method. It is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at around 18°C followed by 4 months of lees contact to enhance structure and body.
This dry white has a bright lemony colour with greenish tinges. The nose is dominated by aromas of herbs, stony citrus and tropical fruits such as lychee and mango, all harmoniously interlaced with minerality typical for the grape variety.
On the palate, it tastes rich, becoming mouth-filling with the same fruit flavours and an intensely mineral core with a pleasant hint of saltiness. Its length is magnificent and well balanced by freshness.
The wine is best served chilled at 11 to 12°C and will age well for 4 to 8 years.
