Wine : Vinsanto
Maker : Vagelis Gavalas
Vintage : 2012 (pictured) and 2010
Grape variety : Assyrtiko 85% - Aidani 10% - Athiri 5%
Colour : deep amber
Notes :Vinsanto follows the traditional techniques of wine making. Grapes are sun dried for 10 -15 days to concentrate the sugar levels. The juice ferments naturally in 80 year old Russian oak barrels and ages for 6 years.
On the nose : Complex aromas of raisin, dried figs, prunes, caramel, dark chocolate and coffee.
To taste : Terroir orientated minerality is subtle, the high acidity of the grapes combined with the residual sugar produce an extremely well-balanced and elegant wine. The wine is velvety on the pallet with a long finish providing a characteristic aftertaste of honey and Iron.
Pairs with : Vinsanto is the perfect aperitif and desert partner
