Gai'a Wines Santorini Thalassitis 750ml
Reference : 30284566
THALASSITIS is produced from Santorini’s indigenous white grape variety, Assyrtiko.Perhaps, it is the only variety in the Mediterranean that manages to combine full maturity of grapes with considerably high acidity, despite the specific climatic conditions of the island. This fact is an essential factor for accomplishing flavor balance in dry white wines.All the Assyrtiko grapes selected for THALASSITIS originate exclusively from vineyards in Episkopi, Akrotiri and Pyrgos regions. The vines in these regions are almost 80 years old.
