Estate Argyros Assyrtiko Santorini
EAES
Estate Argyros Cuvee Evdemon Santorini 2020
Region: Greece, Santorini, Pyrgos
Grape Variety: Assyrtiko
Background: Evdemon is the super cuvée of the Estate from only two vineyards in the areas of Pyrgos and Megalochori that are cultivated with biodynamic methods. Fermented in 80% stainless steel tanks and the rest in old 500 litre barrels that give volume and complexity to the wine.
Tasting Notes: Rich and full-bodied with almost tropical fruit that ties in harmoniously with the distinctive smoky character of the great wines of Santorini. A wine of experience and emotion for those who want to explore and better understand what Assyrtiko can give.
Food Pairing: It is suggested to pair this wine with the following, grilled halloumi, feta, cassoulet and ossau-iraty.
Awards:
93 Points - Tim Atkins: "Opens complex, concentrated, and brooding, humming with quiet power. Sea salt and iodine are on the foreground, supplemented by a green, herbal character. Continues with a rich, opulent palate, which is balanced by the trademark Assyrtiko acidity. Finishes long and fresh"
